These routes come from our own rides between 2014 and 2023. Roads, surfaces and traffic change, so check conditions before you go, follow traffic laws and ride within your limits. One-way routes need a lift home, and the high routes (Aragats, Sevan, the passes) can be cold or snowy outside summer. Planning one of the big ones? Stop by for a pre-ride check first.
