About 55 km from Yerevan, the resort is a popular destination for both locals and visitors looking for skiing or snowboarding within easy reach of the capital.
Getting to Myler from Yerevan
Myler is about an hour’s drive from central Yerevan. There is no public transport to the resort, so a private car or taxi is required. If you don’t have your own transport, it’s important to arrange your trip in advance, especially in winter conditions. Winter tyres are strongly recommended for driving in the region. Always agree the waiting time with your driver if using a taxi, as there are no taxis based at the resort.
For a convenient weekday option, the MylerGo transfer offers a round-trip service from any Yerevan address to Myler and back for 8,000 AMD per person.
