SKIBERGSTEIGEN exists to help international ski mountaineers understand a small number of Iranian mountains well enough to decide whether a journey is worth planning. The geographical focus is Iran: the Alborz, including Damavand and Alam Kuh, and the Zagros, including Zard Kuh and the Dena crest. The work of the site is research, plain description, and an inquiry. It is not a resort, not a shop, and not a news desk.

What the project will not invent

Elevations are quoted with the sources that disagree. Route grades, descent lengths, prices, departure dates, and guide credentials are omitted until they are real. There is no company registration number, no partnership, and no certification on this page, because none has been supplied for publication. When those facts exist, they can be added in the site configuration. Until then the absence is the accurate statement.

How the mountains are treated

Ski mountaineering is travel in unsecured snow, with the consequences that implies. The pages say when a photograph is not winter and when it is not a ski line. Placeholders mark the pictures that are still missing, and they are labeled as placeholders.

Responsible travel, at the level this site will actually argue for, is ordinary: do not publish a snow report you do not have, do not treat a protected valley as open because a website was quiet about it, carry out what you carry in, and do not pressure a party uphill when the weather has already answered. Leave-no-trace practice is the baseline, not a brand.

Languages

English is the default. German is the second language, written for readers who ski in the Alps and use the vocabulary of that practice: Skitouren, Skibergsteigen, Skihochtouren. French and Dutch are reserved in the structure and are not published.

A conversation, not a checkout

If a journey is worth talking about, the inquiry is the place. Nothing is stored until a form service is connected. That limit is described on the contact page rather than hidden.
