After a full reconstruction in 2013, Sochut resort is now one of the best family resorts in Stepanavan due to its unique climate and location, authenticity and professional approach.
WHY SOCHUT?
The resort is surrounded by sochies (pine trees in Armenian) that produce fresh and pure air enriched with phytoncides and ozone. Enhanced with healing effects, it is especially beneficial for patients with pulmonary problems.
The air from pine tree forest helps to improve the respiratory system, restores productivity and has a positive effect on cardiovascular, neural and endocrine systems. By late spring pine trees pollinate in the area of Sochut resort. This unique natural phenomenon has a bactericidal effect and is generally beneficial for the immune system.
The "flowering dust" of pines is enhanced with unmatched medicinal advantages. It restores the respiratory tract mucous membrane, significantly reducing the likelihood of respiratory diseases. Sochut resort is perfect for those who value their health and enjoy spending time in nature.
HISTORY
Founded in 1955, Sochut sanatorium used to be a health resort for children with chronic lung diseases. The resort used to have an all-union importance due to the fact that the children passed comprehensive medical examinations and received treatment without getting interrupted from the learning process. Moreover, kids had a chance to enjoy events, competitions and excursions organized for them.
DENDROPARK
Dendropark is definitely one of the most gorgeous places to visit during your stay at Sochut resort. The most beautiful botanical garden of Armenia, Dendropark is officially named after Edmon Leonovich, a Polish forestry engineer who founded it in 1931.
