TOUR DETAILS

Surprisingly, many tourists perceive Azerbaijan as a place where you can swim in the sea and travel around the cities. However, thanks to the ski resorts, which were formed relatively recently, Azerbaijan began to be seen as an opportunity to relax in ski resorts. And this is good news, because the presence of ski resorts in the country is, as it were, a symbol of sophistication in the tourism industry. The Tufandag resort, which began operations in January 2014, can serve as evidence of this.
