Mount Damavand, standing at 5,671 meters, is the highest peak in Iran and attracts hundreds of domestic and international climbers each year. However, ascending this majestic mountain has always carried risks—ranging from harsh weather conditions and lack of familiarity with the routes to technical challenges along the way.

According to statistics, around 100 climbers face accidents on Damavand each year, with approximately 30 fatalities. Yet, thanks to the preventive measures taken by Amadeh Laziz Company along the Damavand route, the number of deaths has dropped to zero—a remarkable achievement in enhancing climber safety.

In addition to safety concerns, environmental pollution has long been a major issue in the area. Each year, nearly 10 tons of waste are collected from the mountain. Many climbers, exhausted from the ascent, are unable to carry their trash back down.

Most incidents on Damavand are caused by falls, severe fatigue, extreme cold, lightning strikes, or getting lost along the route.

Designated as a national natural monument, Mount Damavand has been under the continued support of Amadeh Laziz Company for years. Through a variety of initiatives, the company has played a key role in both risk reduction and environmental preservation of the mountain. Their actions include:

• Installing lighting along ascent paths

• Providing electricity to shelters

• Equipping rescue teams with emergency gear

• Covering the costs of trash collection and transportation

• Setting up emergency boxes on the north, northeast, and west sides of the mountain

• Preparing a helicopter landing pad for rescue operations

• Cleaning frequently visited areas such as Dasht-e Shaqayeq, Chalu Village, and Alimestan

• Supporting mountaineering activities by Younes Feyzi

These efforts highlight how private sector involvement can significantly contribute to mountaineering safety and environmental conservation.
