When it comes to hitting the slopes, Iran is probably not the first place you’d think of. But at Dizin ski resort, located about two hours north of Tehran by car, you’ll find some of the highest quality snow in the Middle East.
Tourists and locals are welcome to ski all season, which runs from late November to late May.
The ski season is longer than the average American and European season because the base of the mountains sits at 9,000 feet above sea level, with lifts running as high as 12,000 feet.
Here are more details and photos on Dizin ski resort collected by Business Insider.
Ticket prices run from $20 to $25 per day.
