Mount Ağrı (Ararat), Ağrı (5,137 metres / 16,854 feet)

An interactive map showing the south (classic) summit route of Mount Ağrı, Türkiye’s highest mountain, on 3D terrain. The route is about 13.4 km long. It starts at 2,022 m in the hamlet of Ağrıçevirme and ends at the summit at 5,137 m, with a total ascent of about 3,200 m. It is based on the recording of a three-day climb with nights at Camp 1 and Camp 2. After the route junction there are two tracks: the walking track via the camp is part of the main route, and the road up to the base camp area is shown as a dashed white line. The two tracks meet again above the camp; the link of about 76 m at the end of the road is not a recorded track and should be checked on the ground. You can switch between satellite, topographic and street base maps, turn contour lines and hillshade on or off, follow the route from start to finish with “3D flight” and download it.

This track is one person’s recording; it does not guarantee that the terrain is safe or open. Conditions change with the season.

Important notice: The routes on this page were created from coordinate and elevation data. The fact that a route can be displayed in a GPS or map app does not mean that it is safe, passable or suited to current conditions on the ground. Terrain, weather, seasonal changes and other environmental factors must always be assessed before any activity. Before using these routes, please carry out the necessary checks against up-to-date maps and conditions on the ground, and act within your own knowledge, skills and equipment. Strida Spor cannot be held responsible for any consequences arising from the use of this information.

What’s on the map?

  • Points: the start and the summit; campsites, water sources and technical sections appear on the map as they are added. Tap a point to see its description, photos, coordinates (decimal and degrees-minutes-seconds), elevation and its distance along the route.
  • Gradient: the route is split into 100-metre sections and the gradient of each section is calculated separately. The route line and the elevation profile are coloured by this gradient: yellow shows flat sections, reds show climbs and greens show descents. As you zoom in, the gradient label of every 100 metres appears; the summary gives the average gradient and the steepest 100 metres.
  • Elevation profile: as you move along the profile, the map shows the position, elevation and gradient of that point.
  • Roads and footpaths: if a second track leaves the main route and leads to the same place, it is shown as a dashed line (white: road, blue: footpath). Its length is given below the route summary; it is not included in the route distance or the gradient calculation.
  • Download: the route can be downloaded as GPX (Garmin, Wikiloc, OsmAnd, Organic Maps, Gaia GPS), KML (Google Earth) and GeoJSON. The file contains the track and all points with their descriptions.

Before you head out, check the latest forecast for the summit and the approach on our Mountain Weather page.
