Mazaz

Mazaz is an extinct stratovolcano rising to 3,087 meters, part of the northern crest of the Gegham mountain range. It sits on the boundary between the Gegharkunik and Kotayk regions.

The peak stands north of the volcanoes Sevkatar and Azhdahak, and east of Gutanasar. It lies southeast of the towns of Lernanist and Hrazdan.

Mazaz is in Gegharkunik region, on its border with Kotayk, about 6 km southeast of the town of Hrazdan. From Yerevan, it lies roughly 40 km northeast, straight-line.

As a 3,087-meter peak, Mazaz is best approached in summer and early autumn, when high-altitude routes are clear of snow.
