But winter requires logistics. The roads are icy, and the language barrier can be difficult. This is where Nour Armenia Tours steps in. We provide you with a Mercedes V-Class (the most comfortable van for families) and a professional driver who ensures you are safe, warm, and on time.
Here is how we plan your perfect week, including the big New Year's Eve celebration.
The 7-Day "Soft Adventure" Plan
City Luxury & Winter Parks
We start in Yerevan. We take you to the Winter Park (Yeraz).
- For the Kids: There is a huge ice rink and slides. It looks like a fairytale village.
- For the Ladies: We visit La Galleria and the Gold Market. The gold work here is famous, and the prices are excellent.
The Mountains (Tsaghkadzor)
We drive you to the snow. As mentioned in our previous guide, you stay in your private warm cottage at the Marriott.
- The Ropeway: You don't need to ski. We buy you tickets for the cable car. You sit comfortably and fly over the white forests. We stop at the top for hot chocolate and photos.
- Snowmobiles: For the men and boys who want action, we rent powerful snowmobiles. It is thrilling but safe.
The Frozen Beauty of Sevan
We drive to Lake Sevan. Seeing the blue water surrounded by white snow is a view that calms the heart. We visit the ancient monastery, take photos, and eat fresh grilled fish.
History & Health
We visit Garni Temple, the only pagan temple in the region. In winter, with the snow around the pillars, it is magnificent. Then, we can arrange a private spa day or a visit to the hot springs where you can bathe in warm water while surrounded by snow.
The New Year's Eve Strategy (December 31)
My brothers, December 31st in Yerevan is crazy. The streets are closed, and thousands of people are out. If you don't have a plan, you will be stuck in the cold. We offer you three choices:
Why You Need a Private Driver
