5 Things You Should Try This Summer
I’m sure you already have a summer bucket list—but if you don’t, I’ve got the perfect one for you.
We all dream of escaping the heat and traffic of the city. Yes, believe it or not, so do I. And as much as we long to spend our summer surrounded by nature, let’s be honest sometimes we crave something that makes our blood rush with adrenaline.
Together with Sky Club Armenia, we’ve picked out a few experiences that will make your summer not only unforgettable, but also full of excitement. And even if you don’t try everything on this list, but experience just one of them, I’ll consider your summer a success.
Wakeboarding
Water sports are always an exciting and unique way to spend your free time. If you’re a beginner, experienced instructors will introduce you to the basics and help you build your skills. And if you’ve already tried wakeboarding before, you’ll enjoy an unforgettable ride on the waters of Lake Sevan.
Prices & Conditions
- 60-minute lesson: AMD 48,000. One hour is enough to learn the basics and gain confidence controlling the board.
- 30-minute lesson: AMD 35,000. This option is ideal for those who want to try wakeboarding but have limited time.
Why Should You Try Wakeboarding?
The speed and the waves create an incredible feeling. Wakeboarding helps improve your balance, teaches you a completely new skill, and, after all, learning something new always brings positive emotions.
Flyboarding
Once again, on Lake Sevan…

Jeeping
If you love being surrounded by nature but don’t enjoy hiking, then a jeeping tour is exactly what you’re looking for.
Dimats Mountain has become one of Armenia’s most visited destinations in recent years—even among people who have never considered themselves hikers.
It’s the kind of place where thousands of people come just to capture the perfect photograph.

From the summit, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the dramatic rocky cliffs surrounding the Ijevan mountain range.
