Ararat concavity isn\u2019t included in this article. We are going to present the longest mountain ranges and their highest summits that are above 2000 meters and will raise an interest among tourists. Within the framework of the project \u201cOur\u2019s\u201d we have climbed all the below mentioned mountains. To get a detailed information about all those mountains just clicking on the name of each mount and follow the link.

This region of volcanic mountains takes up about 45% of Armenia\u2019s total area, beginning in the northwest (with the Yaghnakhagh and Javakhk Mountain Ranges) and extending south and southeast, including Mount Aragats and Mount Ara, the Geghama and Vardenis Ranges, and finally the Syunik Highlands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The region is characterized by high plateaus (formed by volcanic lava flow), volcanic cones and weak surface rock strata, which are prone to erosion. One of the main forms of volcanic relief found here is the result of effusive volcanic eruption. In this kind of eruption, extremely runny magma reaches the surfaces and flows quite quickly away from the volcanic crater, leaving a rather broad and gently sloping volcanic protrusion which is best exemplified by the peaks of Mount Spitakasar, Vardenis and Great Ishkhanasar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Volcanic Mountains and Volcanic Plateau region can be further subdivided into the Javakhk-Ashotsk and Aragats-Syunik sub-regions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Volcanic Mountains and Plateau<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333300;\">Javakhk Mountains\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px;\">Length: 65 km (20 km of which are in Armenia)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #333300;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333300;\">Highest summit: <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armgeo.am\/en\/achqasar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mount Achkasar (3196 m)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333300;\">Yeghnakhagh Mountains\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px;\">Length: 60 km<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highest summit: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mount Mets Yeghnakhagh (3042 m)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #003300;\">Aragats Mountain\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highest summit:<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Sylfaen',serif;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.armgeo.am\/en\/climbing_the_northern_peak_of_aragats\/aragats-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">The Nothern Peak (4090 m)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #003300;\">Geghama Mountains\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px;\">Length:<\/span><\/span> 72 km<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">Highest summit: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.armgeo.am\/en\/azhdahak-geghama-mountains\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mount Azhdahak (3597m)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #003300;\">Vardenis Mountains <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px;\">Length:<\/span><\/span> 78 km<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">Highest summit: <\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armgeo.am\/en\/vardenis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mount Vardenis (3552 m)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #003300;\">Syunik Highland\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #333333;\">Highest summit: <\/span><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.armgeo.am\/en\/trasar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mount Trasar (3594 m)<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Southern Mountain Ranges<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This region extends from the valley of the Azat River to the Araks (Araxes) Valley, and can be divided into two sub-regions \u2013 the Urts-Vayk and Zangezur.
