El Damavand  es un majestuoso volcán extinguido que posee una altura de 5671 m y está ubicado en la zona central de la cordillera Elburz y a unos 80 Km al noreste de la capital de Irán. Es el pico más alto del país y a su vez el más alto volcán de la región de Oriente Medio. El cráter del mismo es de aproximadamente 150 m de ancho y 20 m de profundidad. En el fondo hay un lago congelado con un diámetro de 40 m. El Damavand y sus alrededores es una zona muy adecuada para realizar actividades como el alpinismo, el senderismo y el esquí. Para ascender a su pico existen cuatro rutas principales:
1. Ruta sur: es una ruta normal que posee 2 refugios a una altura de 3000 y 4150 m.
2. Ruta oeste: cuenta con un refugio y una hermosa vista del valle Sabzlar y es considerada una ruta de gran belleza.
3. Ruta norte: con 2 construcciones ligeras (a 4000 y 4600 m) y pendientes pronunciadas, es la ruta más dificultosa, especialmente durante la temporada invernal.
4. Ruta noroeste: es la más larga de todas pero permite contemplar el valle Yakhar y sus paredes heladas. Cuenta con un refugio (a 4200 m).
Ninguna de estas rutas es técnica, sin embargo, durante las ascensiones de invierno, debido a las condiciones meteorológicas, es preciso contar con un equipo completo y suficiente experiencia.

La zona de Alamkuh, situada en la zona central de la cordillera Elburz, cuenta con más de 40 picos de altura superior a los 4000 m y es una de las regiones más grandes para realizar actividades de alpinismo en Irán. El pico Alamkuh es el segundo pico en cuanto a altura del país.
Su cara norte (450-550 m) dispone de más de 10 rutas abiertas y diversas rutas modernas. Está considerado el pico de mayor grado de dificultad y el más interesante de Irán. A partir de 1964, sus rutas técnicas fueron abiertas por alpinistas iraníes, alemanes, polacos y franceses. Sus principales rutas son las siguientes:
1. Ruta Hesarchal: ésta llega al pico a través de su cara sur y es la ruta más fácil.
2. Ruta Siahsangha: esta ruta cuenta con 2 construcciones ligeras situadas a 3850 m (Sarchal) y 4700 m en la parte noroeste del pico. En algunas partes de esta ruta se requiere de buena habilidad en terrenos rocosos. No está considerada una ruta técnica.
3. Garde Almanha: es una ruta fascinante para aquellos que deseen llevar a cabo ascensiones técnicas pero no arriesgadas.
4. Pared del Alamkuh: las principales rutas abiertas en esta pared son las siguientes:
a) Hari Rust-Najah: cuenta con diez largos de cuerdas y el grado de la ruta es de A1-5,10.
b) Ruta Faransaviha: posee de 12 a 14 largos de cuerda y es una ascensión atractiva, dentro de la amplitud del pico. El grado de la ruta es A2-5,11.
c) Ruta Lahestani 52: cuenta con 11 largos de cuerda y frecuentemente es ascendida. El grado de la misma es A3-5,9.
d) Ruta Lahestani 48: esta ruta, con una longitud de 10 largos de cuerda, es la más técnica de todas. Aparte de las dos primeros largos, los cuales están equipados, los restantes requieren ser asegurados, y en este sentido es como si se tratara de abrir una nueva ruta.
