It includes the highest altitude in the Middle East, Mount Damavand with 5610 m altitude. • They form a barrier between the Caspian and the Qazvin-Tehran plateau (northern part of the great Iranian plateau). They extend in a west-east direction along an arc of 600 km, the minimum length of which is 60 km and the maximum length of 130 km. It is made up of sedimentary series dating from the Upper Devonian to the Oligocene, predominantly Jurassic limestone on a granite core. • Attractions include the medieval fortress of Alamut and several ski resorts, some of which are considered among the best in the world, such as Dizin. • This mountain range should not be confused with Mount Elbrús in the Caucasus, whose name is also derived from the legendary Harā Bərəzaitī mountain of the Avesta.

It culminates at 5,610 meters above sea level at Mount Damavand, a dormant volcano in the south-central part of the chain overlooking the capital Tehran and constituting the highest peak in Iran. The chain forms a topographic and climatic barrier between the south of the Caspian, where the precipitation comes from, and the Iranian plateau, inducing an important plant disparity between the mixed forests of the northern slopes and the semi-arid wooded steppes of the southern slopes. The snow that accumulates in winter forms glaciers in the Takht-e Soleyman massif and on Mount Damavand, in central Elbourz, and on Savalan, at the north-western end of the chain.

It's rapid melting in the spring feeds rivers, on which have been built dams for household supply, for irrigation and, to a lesser extent, for hydroelectricity, mainly to the capital.

The chain is the result of a succession of geological events: the Cimmerian orogeny in the Triassic, followed by the Alpine orogeny with a crustal shortening between the Cretaceous and the Paleocene, then a second since the Neogene, interrupted by a tectonic extension to the Eocene.

Hyrcania and then Tabarestan are regions which have reflected these historical and religious peculiarities, with a very developed mythology; they have enjoyed relatively advanced degrees of autonomy. Settlement was earlier there than in the rest of the country and explains the linguistic peculiarities of the chain. However, pastoralism has long remained anchored with the presence of semi-nomadic populations and the valleys remain places of exchange of agricultural production from one slope to another. Some roads now cross the chain right through, some with tunnels to avoid the passage of high passes and to ensure traffic in winter. They have helped modernize the economy and change lifestyles. They have also allowed the development of tourism, with populations from the towns of the southern foothills looking for a little coolness in summer as well as winter sports entertainment. And Bicycle touring in the summer. The chain is indeed home to several stations, including Dizin, Darbandsar, Shemshak and Tochal near the capital. Several national parks, national natural monuments, wildlife refuges and state natural sanctuaries help to preserve the environment weakened by human pressure. Bicycle touring documentary.
