Azad Kuh, Mountain summit in Mazandaran Province, Iran
The Azad Kuh peak rises to 4,355 meters with steep rock walls extending over 500 meters on its eastern, northern, and western slopes in the central Alborz range.
The 1958 establishment of Shemshak ski resort near Azad Kuh transformed the region from a coal mining area into a recreational destination for Tehran residents.
The name Azad Kuh combines Persian words meaning free mountain, reflecting its standalone position surrounded by deep valleys in the Alborz mountain range.
The climbing route starts from Kalak Bala village, crossing meadows to reach Chooren Pass at 3,800 meters before ascending to the twin-spired summit.
From the peak's eastern spire, climbers observe panoramic views of Central Alborz Mountains, including both Mount Damavand and Alam Kooh Peak in clear conditions.
