Mount Suphan 4058 m.
Mount Suphan, a magnificent dormant vocano rises from the
north-west shores of Lake Van.
Throughout the winter, snow falls on Suphan reaching three
to four meters. The mountain's steep slopes and snow blanket
combine to make it a good location for "Heli-skiing"
-- using helicopters to drop you off on the slopes for an
adventure of high mountain skiing.
TRIPS AND CLIMBS
The easily accessible southern and eastern flanks of Suphan
are the preferred faces for ascending the mountain; they
both offer spectacular views.
To climb from the eastern flank take the coast road that
circles Lake Van. In the stretch between Adilcevaz and Erci,
turn nort to Aydìnlar village. From there you continue
on to Kìcgìllì village where you engage
a guide to lead you in your ascent.
The climb from the south begins at the village of Harmantepe.
