Where is the Dizin Ski resort located? And how can you get there?
As mentioned, it is situated in the Tehran Province of Iran. From the capital of Tehran, a one-way taxi ride can take you to the location. Another option to get there is through booking with a hotel or travel agent that can set you with a group tour to take you there. In case you are traveling by private car, there are two routes you may take to get there. The safest route, however, the longest, is via Karaj. It would take you around 2 and a half hours to ride to Dizin from Tehran.
If you opt for the quickest road, you may travel through Shemshak resort. Take note that this short trip travels along the road that is typically cautioned for avalanches and its steepness. Therefore, it is recommended that you take the route via Karaj for safer travel unless you are day-traveling, which may be less dangerous via the Shemshak resort.
It is also suggested that travels check the weather before departing to ensure that the journey is as safe and smooth as possible.
