Drive from Yerevan into Armenia’s highlands for a private day that pairs a ropeway climb at Tsaghkadzor with shoreline views of Lake Sevan and the forested calm of Dilijan and Haghartsin. Practical, scenic, and accessible for most travelers.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of Yerevan's morning light and the road pulls you into high country: a ribbon of asphalt climbing toward turquoise water and green ridgelines. The first pause is the ropeway at Tsaghkadzor — the cable cars lift you toward Teghenis, where wind and wide views dare you to breathe deeper. Below, the slopes roll away; ahead, Lake Sevan lies like a cool promise at 1,900 m.
