Mountaineering

Highest mountain/peak in Turkey at 5,137m. Technically not particularly difficult, but the altitude should not be underestimated! Prior acclimatization is particularly important and recommended.

Mountaineering

Start from Camp 2 around 1:30–2:00 a.m., ascent approximately 4–5 hours. The last 200 meters of ascent are only possible with crampons! Above: 360° panorama over Turkey, Iran, and Armenia – plus a fantastic view of Little Ararat. Very cold and windy depending on the season!
