Ride jeeps along snow-covered roads, master snowmobiles, stay at a ski resort and... dive into an ice hole in Sevan. In winter, the lake is covered with a crust of ice, the mountain ranges are covered with snow, the slopes of Aragats are favored by freeriders, and the Gorge of Flowers - the ski resort of Tsaghkadzor - attracts skiers, snowboarders, cross-country skiing and orienteering enthusiasts. There are all opportunities for practicing your favorite sports; thanks to the local climate, virgin soil does not become crusty, and untouched snow holds the board perfectly. The ski center in Tsaghkadzor is located a 40-minute drive from the airport on the picturesque slopes of Mount Teghenis. Trails of all difficulty levels start at the top of the mountain, where the Litner chairlift with heated seats takes you there. In Tsaghkadzor there are no queues for the ski lifts, and all instructors speak Russian! The highest ski point is 2819 m, which is only 10 m lower than the highest ski station in Courchevel. In clear weather, from the first stage of the cable car you can see Sevan, and from the top of Teghenis - Ararat. The third stage of the cable car is a route for lovers of real extreme sports. If you go from the top to the pass, then along the ridge of the neighboring mountain, virgin fields and snowboard slope, you get 8 km of continuous drive - a real paradise for skiers!

Voskeni wines is a family owned vineyard and wine making company located in Sardarapat, Ararat valley. The whole vision of Voskeni Wines revolves around the prominent story of Smbat Matevossian.

However, against all odds, almost 100 years later his descendants returned to Armenia from Russia, bought back the vineyards and began producing high-quality wines. Voskeni Wines now offers exceptional wines, a picturesque vineyard, a cozy home-restaurant, a terrace with a stunning view of Mount Ararat and a family always ready to welcome their guests.
