A brilliant deal for backpackers wishing to hit the slopes at Dizin, this cosy chalet-style hostel in the village of Velayat Rud, around 5km from the ski resort, is a winner. Managed by a friendly couple who can also cook you meals (extra cost), rates include a basic breakfast, drinks throughout the day and transfers to Dizin.
Look for the big 7 sign on the lamp post as you enter the village.
