The Damavand with its 5604 m far surpasses all surrounding mountains and is thus the highest mountain of Iran and the entire Middle East. He is one of the highest freestanding mountains in the world.

According to Iranian mythology, the dragon Zahak ruled the land for a thousand years, until Fereydun captured him and nailed him to a cliff face on Damavand, where he must live until the end of time.

Hot meals for individual climbers not guaranteed. Hot water is available to buy. Mobile reception possible (voice only). Overcrowding in high season July-Sept. possible.
Crampons for peaks highly recommended, or in May / June necessary. Summit weather, winds, visibility in mind. Forecast z.b. snowforecast.com at base camp. Summit ascent 5-9 h, descent 2-4 h, summit temp. -10 to -20 ° C, wind chill temp. -15 to -40 ° C depending on season and wind. At the summit, note the swirling sulfur fumes, too much of it inhaled, producing nausea and nausea, perhaps simple dust mask helps. Landlord Mohammed at Camp 3 speaks only Farsi, May 2016. But often guides, e.g. Macoud with guests, who also advise and inform Solobergsteiger.
