Shahdagh

Mount Shahdagh, at 13,921 feet above sea level, is the second-highest mountain in the Greater Caucasus Range. The mountain is located in Qusar rayon, close to the Russian border. Mount Shahdagh is distinguished by prehistoric cave dwellings at its foot, which indicate human activity on the mountain for over 9,000 years. The ruins of the ancient town of Kabala, which served as the capital of Caucasian Albania, are also located near the peak. Mount Shahdagh has steep slopes and strong gusts blowing in its direction, making ascending extremely difficult. According to the locals, it is considered sacred and may only be reached by traditional priests. Shahdagh has a mystical aspect and is coated with snow and ice as well.

The creation of this facility near Shahdag National Park expands Azerbaijan's prospects for skiing and other winter sports. With a variety of new season entertainment and hospitality offerings, Shahdag Mountain Resort aspires to become a prominent tourism destination.
