Excursions
The Alborz mountain chain is a popular destination for excursions outside Tehran. There are numerous mountain resorts featuring cable car facilities as well as skiing slopes (the season runs from January to March). To escape the hustle and bustle of the city, take a day trip to the towns of Shahr-e Rey, Varamin, Qazvin, or Shemshak, which have preserved much of their original character. For sports enthusiasts, there are waterskiing facilities at the Karaj Dam about one hour outside of Tehran.
