Book an Iran Tochal Ski Resort tour in Tehran which is the most convenient ski tour one can ever take.
Tochal ski resort is located in Tehran Province right to the north of the capital city. Skiing in Iran is ideal for people who seek cheap ski resorts with a perfect powdery snow. The entrance fees and prices for renting skiing gears are truly negligible compared to the dear costs of western resorts. Tochal, Shemshak and Dizin are the most popular ski resorts in and around Tehran. Our Tochal ski tours take one, two, or three days depending on the tourists’ desire.
Snow conditions at the end of 2016 were less than ideal in most regions of the Swiss Alps with almost no snow up to 2000m.
As last Christmas (when here was little snow) we drove up to Flüela Pass and skinned up to this worthwhile peak. We come from the South side via Rothorn Furgga. The last few meters we climbed without skis. Looking down the North side is looked quite rocky so we crossed through rocks on the East side about 100m below the top towards Schwarzhorn Furgga, because we wanted to ski the 40 degree Eastern flanks just North of Radüner Rothorn. It took us a while to get there, but it was worthwhile: Virgin “powder” (or something similar) greeted us and we put in the first tracks. Skiing down to the Flüela Pass road was easy with very little rock contact. Overall, a great tour (again) when the Flüela Pass is still open.

Radüner Rothorn (3022m) – Again Snow conditions at the end of 2016 were less than ideal in most regions of the Swiss Alps with almost no snow up to 2000m.
View of Radüner Rothorn (picture above), couloir to the right can be skied.
The Radüner Rothorn (3022m) is a better ski touring mountain than the Flüela Schwarzhorn just about 1km North of it (see map below). The views are just as nice and the skiing down is much better. And you can even try the steep East couloirs, if avalanche conditions are safe. (The top part of Flüela Schwarzhorn usually cannot be skied well, as there are rocks and the snow is usually wind blown.)
The ascent and descent can be done both from the North or South (usually the route is skied clockwise). We climbed the peak at Christmas 2016 when there was hardly any snow in the region and we managed some good runs without much “rock damage”.
View from the peak are great and, as mentioned before, I prefer the Radüner Rothorn anytime as compared to the higher and much “busier” Flüela Schwarz.

Radüner Rothorn (3022) – Worthwile Alternative to Flüle Schwarzhorn View of Radüner Rothorn (picture above), couloir to the right can be skied. The Radüner Rothorn (3022m) is a better ski touring mountain than the Flüela Schwarzhorn just about 1km North of it (see map below).
Life isn't a journey, skiing is the journey of life.
