Damavand Mountain is located  in Mazandaran province and 70 km northwest of Tehran. Damavand  is a single and conical mountain among the intertwined mountains of Alborz mountain range.

The height of Damavand peak is 5610 meters above sea level and its volcanic crater is 400 meters in diameter.

Damavand is a volcanic but silent mountain, and now the eruption of sulfur gases and sulfur hills are the remaining signs of this volcano.

Because the rocks of Damavand mountain are igneous and metamorphic, beautiful shapes of rocks can be seen on the slopes of Damavand, especially in its southern slope, Slates like lion, panda, rabbit and …

The difficulty of climbing Damavand is not only due to its height, but also the sulfur gases of the peak cause difficulty in breathing.

Damavand peak also finds a beautiful snow cap in spring.

The phenomenon of ice waterfall at an altitude of 5100 meters on the southern front of Damavand is also one of the special features of Damavand. A waterfall with a height of seven meters and a diameter of three meters, which is always frozen in summer or winter.
