Mount Sabalan is located in the northwestern part of Iran, in the province of Ardabil. It is the third highest peak in Iran at 4,811 meters, after Demavend (5,610 meters) and Alam Kuh (4,850 meters). Sabalan is an active volcano, although the last eruption occurred in ancient times. Sabalan is considered one of the natural beauties of Iran and has great tourist importance. There are many hot springs around the mountain, which are known for their healing properties. After the ascent, we will restore our strength in the healing waters.

After settling in the hotel, we will rest and arrange the necessary things for the ascent.

Mount Sabalan - Shabil - Tabriz

After collecting our things, we will head from the base camp of the mountain to Shabil, a resort rich in hot mineral waters (45°C to 50°C).
