This page is an orientation. It is not a scheduled expedition, and it does not confirm a guide, a price, or a date.
- Season
- Winter and spring. A dry-ridge photograph on the destination page is there to show that snow is not guaranteed.
- Technical requirements
- Crest travel, possible cornices, and valley approaches. No tour grade or distance is published.
- Physical requirements
- Successive days with a pack, and road transfers that can be long before the first skin track.
- Equipment
- Touring skis, skins, and an avalanche set you have practiced. Crampons if the plan includes harder ground. The list is completed for a real trip, not here.
- Recommended experience
- Comfortable ski touring in unsecured terrain. Describe the ranges you know and the days you are used to.
Ski touring on Zard Kuh is a way to travel a long Zagros crest, not a lift-served week. This page does not sell a week. Contact us for current expedition details and availability.
People who ski here usually need a city transfer into Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, a base around Kuhrang or Chelgerd, and then days chosen from the weather and the snow. Some days are valley approaches. Some are on the crest. A timetable that pretends otherwise would be fiction. The Zard Kuh page explains the geography and the elevation figure we are willing to print.
Unpublished on purpose
No price, no departure, no included hotels, no guide biography. If those become real for a particular party, they will be stated for that party.
