About the country:
ARMENIA
Armenia is situated at a cultural, historical, and
religious intersection and located at the crossroads between
Europe and Asia.
One of the world's oldest civilizations,
Armenia once included Mount Ararat, which
biblical tradition identifies as the mountain
that Noah's ark rested on after the flood. It
was the first country in the world to officially
embrace
Christianity
as
its
religion
(c. A.D. 300).
The climate in Armenia is markedly
continental. Summers are dry and sunny,
lasting from June to mid-September. Average
temperature in the country ranges from -5oC
in winter to 30oC in summer.
Tsaghkadzor (means “valley of flowers” in Armenian) is a beautiful town and a
popular health resort in Armenia and is located 50 kilometers north of Yerevan at a
height of 1750 meters above sea level, surrounded with alpine meadows in the Kotayk
Province.
Tsaghkadzor is a unique place attracting tourists all year round not only by
dazzling whiteness of its slopes, but also colorful and tantalizing aroma of nature. This
feature of the city makes it attractive, inviting and memorable.
