Itinerary description

Català (english down)
El tercer dia ens llevem molt d'hora per provar l'Aaragats, un cim de més de 4000 metres, el sostre d'Armenia. Després de dues hores de cotxe, comencem des del mateix poble Aragats. L'itinerari és molt llarg i evoluciona per una llarga pista que puja lentament per la vall sense guanyar massa altura. Tot seguit, es van superant ressalts i balconades amb incòmodes flanqueigs fins a arribar a un marcat coll a 3700 metres d'altura. Deixem els esquís i acabem la pujada fins al cim sense neu per un inclinat llom fent una passa endavant i dues endarrera sobre un caos de roca volcànica.
Fem cim a les cinc de la tarda, esgotats però acompanyats d'un dia radiant i sense vent. Recuperem els esquís i fem una baixada boníssima per neu pols fins a la pista que ens retorna al poble on trobem un home amb el que, malgrat les dificultats, mantenim un a bona conversa.
En resum, ruta molt exigent on ens han sortit 29km.



English
Third day skiing in Armenia.
Two hours by car from Dilijan to Aragats village. Start early in the morning because the ski route is demanding and very long.
From the village, long track until the end of the road. Then, successive soft balconies until the final pass with a final slope to the summit without snow because the wind. We leave the skis and continue to walk to the summit. We arrive at the top at 05:00PM.
Great views to the Ararat and the hilly north face in a sunny day, no wind. We take some fotos and we start to descent fastly. We put the skis and we enjoy the large descent across the lonely valley when the sun is set. We arrive to the car in the dark.
Very happy to climb the top of Armenia in the middle of February, This is a great experience. This was the day!

    Etapa reina de la nostre estada per Armenia. Una bona rostida, però la satisfacció d' haver assolit el sostre d' Armenia no té preu!

    Great route, lonely and long. The landscapes from the summit are spectacular and beautiful!
    We could see Ararat.
    Armenia and the arminians are fantastic!
