Artanish Mountain

Mount Artanish rises to 2,461 meters as the principal peak of the Arjakar Mountains, featuring slopes covered with meadows and native shrubs.

The geological formation of Mount Artanish occurred through volcanic activity millions of years ago, resulting in distinct rock formations throughout the area.

Local families maintain traditions of gathering on Mount Artanish during summer months to celebrate seasonal festivals and share community meals.

The mountain trails remain accessible from April through November, with guides and detailed maps available at the information center in Artanish village.

From the mountain's summit, observers can witness the convergence point of Greater and Lesser Lake Sevan between the Artanish and Noratus peninsulas.
