Mount Aragats is the highest mountain in Armenia, reaching 4,090 meters and impressing with its scale and rugged beauty.
Lake Rapi is located on the slopes of Mount Aragats near the village of Geghadzor, at an altitude of over 3,000 meters above sea level. Even in summer it remains cool here, and in winter the lake freezes completely, transforming into a truly alpine landscape.
During the hike, breathtaking views open up over the northern slopes of Aragats and its majestic North Face, creating the feeling of a true high-mountain adventure. In winter, the road leading to Lake Rapi is covered with snow, so during the hike we will use snowshoes, which make it comfortable to walk even in deep snow.
