Ski resort

Pooladkaf is the southmost ski resort of Iran, surrounded by amazing landscapes. Can you imagine Kuwait is only 300km away from there? The resort is located near Sepidan, a leisure place for wealthy families from Shiraz. Shirazian come there for skiing or cooling off during the hot summer.

Created during the sixties, an industrial group “Pooladkaf” manages the resort since 2000. The group invested a lot to develop the resort and attract more tourists. Even-though Pooladkaf stays relatively small, it offers a large choice of activities : skiing, skidoo, restaurant, horse riding, après-ski, hotel, mountain bike, hiking…

Pooladkaf’s ski area is the fifth biggest in Iran, after Dizin, Shemshak, Darbandsar and Tochal ski resorts.

A gondola (4 seats / cabin) + 1 ski lift, are the two lifts serving the only red slope of the resort. The ski lift is powerful and gives a quick access to the steepest part of the slope. There are numerous off-piste trails with changing terrains, making runs really fun. The risk of avalanche is limited. Potential for ski touring in this region is big and especially in the “Dena Protected Area“.

Access

From Shiraz a small road is reaching the ski resort of Pooladkaf. To my knowledge there isn’t any public transportation. However Shirazian people come skiing for the day to Pooladkaf, therefore hitchhiking is a good option.

From Yasuj, hitchhiking will be hard as the traffic is light. Better take a taxi – about 15 to 20 $ for one way.
