Mount Aragats — the highest mountain in Armenia

Mount Aragats is a majestic extinct volcano and the highest mountain in Armenia (4,090 m). Located in the northwest of the country, it can be seen from almost anywhere in the Ararat Plain. The mountain has four peaks forming a vast crater, where snowfields remain visible even in summer.

At the foot of Aragats lie picturesque alpine meadows, ancient caravanserais, Kari Lake at an altitude of 3,200 meters, and the Byurakan Observatory, where visitors can admire the stars. From the summit, there are breathtaking views of Mount Ararat, Lake Sevan, and the surrounding valleys.

Aragats is not only a natural wonder but also a symbol of Armenia’s strength and spirit — a place where legends, sky, and eternal snows meet.
