This route pairs the oldest Christian sites in the country with an afternoon on a mountain, which is a stranger combination than it sounds and works well. The journey begins in Etchmiadzin, the spiritual center of the country and home to sacred sites included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. The main stop here is Etchmiadzin Mother Cathedral – the principal cathedral of the Armenian Apostolic Church and the first Christian cathedral in the world. You will also visit the remarkable Treasures of Etchmiadzin Museum, where important relics and sacred objects connected with Armenian spiritual heritage are preserved. The route then continues to the 7th-century Zvartnots Temple, one of the most impressive architectural creations of its time. Afterwards, you will head to Tsaghkadzor, one of Armenia's most popular mountain resorts. Here you will visit the medieval Kecharis Monastery and take the Tsaghkadzor Ropeway up the slopes of Mount Teghenis, where picturesque views of the surrounding mountain ranges open before you. Nine to ten hours, and the ropeway is the last thing you do.
