Ski resort

Bijar is located in the Kurdistan Province of Iran at equal distance from the cities of Zanjan and Hamedan (See also Tarik Dareh ski resort). The city of Bijar, 20,000 inhabitants, is nestled at 2,000m above sea level. It is famous worldwide for the quality and the beauty of its handmade persian carpets.

The specificity of this resort is its proximity with the city. A highly motivated staff (Ali, Ismaël, Ali Locomotive…) maintain and manage the resort. Unfortunately, the chairlift didn’t get the governmental permission to be operated (Safety issues). Only 1x ski lift serves the green slope and a part of the blue one.

Kids, elders, women, men… Everyone come with enthusiasm to gather and ski together. For grooming the slopes, Bijar ski resort is equipped with a snow groomer.
