Candy Canes & Shahdag Tour

This tour combines two of Azerbaijan’s most striking yet completely different landscapes in a single unforgettable day. In the morning, you’ll marvel at the surreal beauty of the Candy Cane Mountains in Xızı, where vivid red, pink, and white stripes ripple across ancient hills formed over 250 million years ago. It’s a geological wonder found in only a handful of places on Earth. From there, we ascend into the Greater Caucasus to reach Shahdag Resort, a year-round mountain escape. Whether blanketed in winter snow or bursting with summer greenery, Shahdag offers breathtaking panoramic views and a range of outdoor activities—from skiing and snowboarding to hiking, horseback riding, and zip-lining. The contrast between the painted desert hills of Xızı and the alpine majesty of Shahdag in a single journey makes this experience truly one-of-a-kind. It’s not just a tour—it’s two completely different worlds in one adventure.
