아르메니아‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 산길

A great reward after the climb! Water available at the summit

Part of the old road to Yerevan. Mostly nice packed gravel and grass, low grade ascent from North side. Orchids in Spring. Water source at the North end with a small shelter.

If you like narrow, badly-lit, unventilated, potholed tunnels full of deafening traffic and diesel fumes, take the highway. If you don't, suck up the extra bit of climbing and enjoy this almost completely traffic-free alternative over the mountain pass (actually the original road before the tunnel was built)!

highest point in my trip

Incredible performance!!

This road is not on google maps, but possibly the highlight of our Armenian trip! The road is pretty good quality for gravel and not to steep! The scenery is spectacular!

Good road quality for cycling up, one has to be a bit careful descending though. Though the tunnel is lit and is only 1800m long I highly recommend the extra 250m climb over the pass. The view is worth every effort and it isn’t too steep!

Very mild and scenic ascent from Dilijan to the village of Semyonovka. I would not trade for it the faster tunnel ever.
