Mountain biking at Boo Bike Park (Vanadzor)

About

Armenia's first mountain bike park, set in the forested hills near Mount Pambak outside Vanadzor, opened in October 2022 with support from the EU, German development agency GIZ, UNDP, and the Vanadzor municipality, after being founded by Emma Petrosyan and Vaghinak Karapetyan. It centers on the Caucasus's first purpose-built pump track alongside groomed cross-country and downhill trails.
What people can do there: Ride the free pump track or rent a bike for the park's green and blue machine-groomed trails — complete with berms, bridges, and jumps — past a botanical garden and abandoned Soviet-era structures, join a guided weekly tour, or stay over at the on-site café and campground/bungalow.
