Welcome to the City of Inspiration
Tsaghkadzor is the jewel of Armenia – a place where every day is filled with the freshness of mountain air, the aroma of pine forests, and a sense of warmth and comfort.
Just an hour’s drive from Yerevan, this resort town perfectly combines nature, culture, and modern comfort. It’s a favorite destination for winter sports, summer vacations, family trips, and romantic getaways.
SIA Resort & Spa Hotel Tsaghkadzor is located right in the heart of the resort – close to major attractions, the ropeway, and top restaurants. From here, guests can explore the entire town on foot or reach any point in just a few minutes by car.

Kecharis Monastery – The Spiritual Heart of Tsaghkadzor

Founded in the 11th century, Kecharis Monastery is one of Armenia’s most cherished spiritual landmarks. Nestled in a pine-covered valley, it symbolizes the harmony of history and faith.
The atmosphere here is serene, especially at sunset when the golden light gently touches the ancient stones.
Distance from SIA Resort & Spa: only 900 m (10 minutes’ walk).
Tip from the hotel: visit in the morning for peace and beautiful photos, and return at sunset for the sound of bells and the golden glow over the valley.

Ropeway & Mount Teghenis – The Height You’ll Want to Return To

The pride of Tsaghkadzor – the modern Teghenis ropeway – stretches over 3 km and offers breathtaking views of the Razdan valley, Lake Sevan, and even Mount Aragats.
In winter, it’s a paradise for skiing and snowboarding; in summer, visitors come for hiking, picnics, and paragliding.
Distance from SIA Resort & Spa: about 1.5 km (5 min by car or 20 min on foot).
Tip from the hotel: purchase a full-day ski pass at the reception and use the complimentary transfer to the ropeway.

Tsaghkadzor Forest Trails – The Breath of Nature

Beyond the town begin vast pine forests filled with the scent of resin and herbs. Here you’ll find hiking routes for all levels – from short family walks to long panoramic hikes with waterfalls.
The nearest trailhead: just 400 m from SIA Resort & Spa.
The hotel is located right at the start of one of the most scenic routes leading to the View Point observation area.
Tip from the hotel: ask the reception for a free trail map – the staff will recommend the best routes based on your experience.

Orbeli Brothers House-Museum – The Story of Armenian Genius

This cozy museum honors the world-famous Armenian scientists – the Orbeli brothers – who made remarkable contributions to biology, archaeology, and culture.
Here you can see rare photographs, letters, and artifacts from the early 20th century.
Distance from SIA Resort & Spa: 700 m (8–10 min walk).

The menu is based on fresh local produce and the chef’s creative touch.
The bar features a curated selection of Armenian wines (Ararat, Vayots Dzor, Areni) and house-made fruit liqueurs from apricot, pomegranate, cherry, and wild plum.
