Walks & Trails around Dilijan
Seven verified walks from town — the Parz Lake chain, the ANT routes and the 80 km TCT section — with honest distances and safety notes.
Dilijan sits inside its national park, and the trails start where the streets end — the classic chain runs Dilijan → Parz Lake → Gosh. Most trails are free; Parz Lake's amenities (cabins, boats, ropes course) are commercial, and some managed sites charge small fees. Distances, difficulty and durations below are from HikeArmenia's trail pages and the Transcaucasian Trail guide, checked July 2026.

Day–night temperature swings are large at this altitude — pack a warm layer even in summer.
