Tour description
Are you ready to embrace the chilly weather with an epic ski vacation? Then you should definitely take the opportunity to feel this adrenaline.
Among many skiing destinations, Azerbaijan just recently appeared on the map, but has already managed to become famous and loved by many.
Heavy and fluffy snow in Azerbaijan this year increased the flow of tourists into the country. So, Shahdag and Tufandag, the most attractive sides for the local and foreign tourists in Azerbaijan during the winter season became the main directions for skiing vacation.
Appearance of ski tourism in the southern country was something improbable and impossible for many, whilst this did not prevent development of successful winter tourism complexes in Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan, an incredibly beautiful area of unique nature contrasts: 9 out of 11 climate zones are observed in the country. Northern region is adjacent to the ridge of the Caucasus Mountains, and winters here are cold and snowy.
The country decided to use this advantage in January 2013 and in 30 km from the town of Gusar, the first hotels and the ski slopes of the complex Shahdag was opened. It stands 2,500 meters above sea level and serves as an outstanding getaway with its rich nature, fresh air, and wonderful climate. The temperatures at Shahdag ranges from winter lows of -20°C to pleasant summer evenings of 20°C.
