Tsaghkadzor ("The Gorge of Flowers" in Armenian) is a spa town and a popular ski resort in Armenia, situated only 50 km north of the capital Yerevan in the Kotayk Province. Surrounded with alpine meadows, the town is located on the southeastern slope of Mount Teghenis, at a height of 1,841 meters above sea level (which is 10 meters below the highest ski station of French resort Courchevel).

During Soviet times, the lifts and other sporting facilities were built to prepare Soviet athletes for the 1988 Winter Olympics, and later fully modernized with the old lifts being replaced. All ropeway lifts are manufactured and operated by Leitner Group (Italy). Top skiing point is located at an altitude of 2,819 meters, from where opens the spectacular views of Lake Sevan and the Mount Ararat.

It’s true that Tsaghkadzor offers you pristine, untouched surroundings, but it also comes with historical attractions that never fail to amaze tourists. The architectural complex of Kecharis is the highlight of the town, comprising three churches and three chapels dating back to the 11th century.

Many luxury hotels and resorts serve the town during the summer and winter seasons including the Marriott Tsaghkadzor Hotel, Russia Hotel, Best Western Alva Hotel, Kecharis Hotel, Jupiter Hotel and many others.
