Sabalan is a majestic 4,811-metre volcano, its summit snowbound for much of the year. A crater lake at the top, thermal springs on the lower slopes and the summer pastures of Shahsevan nomads bring wilderness and pastoral life into a single panorama. Reaching the summit requires preparation and expert guidance.
