Tsaghkadzor, Mountain resort town in Kotayk Province, Armenia.

Located at 1841 meters elevation on Mount Teghenis slopes, Tsaghkadzor extends across alpine meadows with a network of ski tracks through snow-covered mountains.

The settlement originated as a hunting ground for Arsacid kings in the 3rd century before Prince Grigor Magistros constructed the Kecharis Monastery in 1033.

The Kecharis Monastery complex contains four churches and two chapels, representing medieval Armenian architectural traditions with stone-carved decorations and religious symbolism.

The ski resort maintains fifteen tracks spanning 30 kilometers with five lifts operating from December to March, suitable for different skill levels.

The Olympic Sports Complex, established in 1967, served as a high-altitude training center for Soviet athletes preparing for the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.
