Yalnızçam Mountains

The Yalnızçam, or Arsiani, Mountains rise between the upper Çoruh country and the high Ardahan plateau. Their ridges form part of a rugged landscape cut by deep valleys, with forests on the mountain slopes and high pastures above them. To the east the Kura flows across the Ardahan country towards Georgia, while the Çoruh and its tributaries carve their way through the mountains to the west. High passes connect Shavsheti with the plateau beyond the range.
