According to the Family Magazine section of SaedNews, one of the routes is through Chalous Road. If you're traveling north via Chalous Road, you've likely seen signs for the Dizin Ski Resort. On this route, after Gachsar Hotel, you’ll head toward the Velayat Rud path to reach Dizin. This journey from Tehran, under traffic-free conditions, takes about 2.5 hours.

Another route from Tehran to Dizin is via Fasham in Lashkarak. You can take Babayi Highway to Lashkarak Road and then head toward Fasham through the Qoushak fork to reach Dizin. The Shamshak-Dizin road is located here but is typically closed in winter due to extreme cold and harsh weather conditions.

As mentioned, the key feature of Dizin is its ski resort, which, despite its 40-year history, continues to be recognized by the International Ski Federation. Although Tehran has other ski resorts, none compare to Dizin.

With its exceptional winter climate (as cold as -20°C) and pleasant, cool summer days, along with excellent facilities and accessibility, Dizin has become an unparalleled summer and winter tourist village in the Middle East.
