For a traveller with one day and a long list, this route reaches the Garni valley, the Tsaghkadzor slopes and Lake Sevan between breakfast and dark. The first stop is Garni, the only standing pagan temple in Armenia. About 20 minutes from the temple, Geghard will impress you with its powerful atmosphere: this 13th-century monastic complex is partially carved into the rock and included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. The next stop is Tsaghkadzor, which means "valley of flowers" and is considered one of Armenia's most popular winter resorts. It is one of the places in this mountainous country where nature reveals its beauty in every season. Here you can visit Kecharis and enjoy a ride on the Tsaghkadzor Ropeway, which has 5 stations and more than a dozen ski runs. Further on the route is the "Blue pearl" of Armenia – Lake Sevan. Sevanavank, majestically standing on the peninsula, opens an impressive view of the lake, shimmering in shades of blue, emerald and green. Today, there is also a religious seminary here, which is usually not open to the public. Ten to eleven hours, so it suits an early start.
