Myler Mountain Resort is an 18-year visionary project designed for implementation in phases to establish the largest and most advanced ski resort in Armenia.
Myler Mountain Resort offers a unique investment opportunity for local and international stakeholders to participate in the transformation of Armenia’s tourism landscape. The project’s funding model centres on public-private partnerships, encouraging collaboration between the government, private investors, and strategic partners.
The initial phase of the project requires investments exceeding $70 million. The total estimated budget for the project is $250-$300 million over the next decade. Key allocations include over €30 million for the construction of advanced ropeway systems, with the remainder dedicated to creating essential support infrastructure, ski tracks, and guest amenities.
Once operational, the resort will cater to 16,000 skiers at peak capacity – a figure that triples Armenia’s current high-season visitor numbers.
The project is spearheaded by Myler FEZ LLC, the official organiser of the Myler Free Economic Zone (FEZ), which was established by the Armenian government through Decision No. 1302 on 15 August, 2024. This partnership underscores the alignment of private and public sector goals to create a globally competitive ski resort.
Investing in Myler Mountain Resort offers a unique opportunity for sustainable growth, leveraging a phased development plan for financial stability. Located near Mount Aragats, its world-class infrastructure and year-round attractions ensure a steady visitor flow, solidifying its status as a premier destination.
With significant tax incentives in the Myler FEZ, investors gain a strategic advantage while contributing to Armenia’s rise as a global leader in mountain tourism.
