Damavand, Iran’s highest peak and volcano, rises in the central Alborz within Amol County. Its snow-covered cone is a symbol of endurance in Persian myth and literature, while sulphurous springs and glaciers reveal its volcanic character. Reaching the summit requires serious preparation and professional guidance.
