More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air-conditioned vehicle into thin mountain air and the first thing that grabs you is the view — slopes folding into blue: Lake Sevan to one side, the Tsaghkadzor bowl to the other. The ropeway lifts you above pine-scented inclines; below, a patchwork of summer grazing and winter runs slides past as the valley narrows.

History
Sevanavank traces its origins to the 9th century; the church complex has been rebuilt and altered over centuries and sits on volcanic-basalt foundations on a high-altitude lake that was a strategic and spiritual site in medieval Armenia.
Conservation
Lake Sevan has faced ecological pressure from reduced water levels and pollution; choose responsible operators, avoid single-use plastics, and follow local guidance to protect shoreline habitats.

Buy optional activity tickets on-site
Ropeway and zipline fees are paid locally (cash/card depending on season); budget extra time for lines and payment.
Dress in layers and closed-toe shoes
Mountain weather changes quickly and harnessed activities require secure footwear and a snug outer layer.
Carry small cash for lakeside stalls
Many boat trips, jet skis and lakeside restaurants accept cash more reliably than cards.
Time for photos: plan sunrise or late afternoon
Early or late light cuts glare on the lake and reduces crowding at Sevanavank.
Closed-toe hiking shoes or sturdy trainers
Secure footing for rocky monastery paths, zipline platforms, and uneven lakeshore terrain.
Layered jacket (windproof)
High-altitude winds and shade at the lake make a lightweight windproof layer essential.
Sunscreen and sunglasses
Reflection off the lake and high UV at altitude increase sun exposure.

Small daypack with water and cash
