Sahand is one of the highest mountains in Iranian Azerbaijan, in addition to being an important dormant volcano in the country.[1] The Sahand mountains are directly south of Tabriz, the highest peak of which is Kamal at an elevation of 3,707 m (12,162 ft). Approximately 17 peaks can be accounted for as being over 3,000 m (9,843 ft) in height. Due to the presence of a variety of flora and fauna, the Sahand mountains are known as the bride of mountains in Iran.[2] Sahand is made chiefly of dacite and associated felsic rocks.
Winter sports
Sahand Ski Resort is on the northern foothills of the mountain and near the city of Tabriz.
