Safed Dara Ski Resort
Сафед Дара
A modern ski resort in the Hissar Mountains north of Dushanbe. It offers skiing in winter and cable car rides and mountain air in summer.
Safed Dara Ski Resort sits in a valley at about 2,000 to 3,000 meters in Varzob district, roughly 50 km from Dushanbe, a drive of about 1.5 hours. The resort has several cable car lines, slopes of varying difficulty, ski rental, hotels and restaurants, making it one of the newer ski destinations in Central Asia. In summer, it operates cable car sightseeing, hiking and children's play activities. Weekends in ski season are crowded, so book accommodation in advance. Mountain roads require snow chains in winter, and the weather changes quickly. The older Takob ski resort is also nearby. Prices are as published by the resort.
Opening hours
Winter approx. 09:00–16:00; in summer, cable car hours as posted
