When people think of
Iran, they tend to think of the desert, not of ski
resorts, but Dizin is Irans top skiing resort.
Skiing was first bought to Iran by German engineers
who were building the railway in Persia in the 1930s
and were impressed by the mountains they saw. Built
in 1969 by the Shah of Iran, Dizin resort is
situated just north of Tehran in the Alborz
Mountains at an altitude of 8,530 feet and is one of
the 40 highest ski resorts in the world (the highest
ski lift here reaches 11,482 feet).
The ski resort of Dizin was purpose built in 1969
and is not particularly picturesque. As was the
fashion in some purpose built resorts in Europe in
the late 1960s, most of the buildings and purpose
built centres at Dizin are made of concrete. Unlike
in Europe, no attempt has been made to make the
buildings blend in or look slightly less ugly.
Because of its altitude, Dizin ski resort has more
snow and the ski season lasts for longer than at
many European ski resorts. The air is also drier
than at a lot of European resorts, making for some
excellent powder. There are 13 lifts which are
extremely cheap by European standards and rarely
have queues, except sometimes at the weekends. Most
of the runs here are of a beginner or intermediate
standard, though 10 per cent are advanced runs.
Accommodation at Dizin consists of two hotels and 19
chalets; there are also five restaurants. Iran is a
Muslim country and alcohol is banned, so there is no
drinking or nightlife; the hotel bar has been closed
since 1979. Women are also required to keep their
heads covered at all times, so visitors should
remember to take headscarves with them.
Those who want a bigger selection of runs and moguls
can head to the nearby resort of Shemshak. The ski
resorts of Darbandsar and Aab-Ali are also close to
Dizin ski resort.
The ski season at Dizin lasts from December until
March or April. The easiest way to get here is by
coach or car from Tehran.
