Sabalan or Savalan (native: ساوالان[sævæ'lɒːn])[2] is an inactive stratovolcano in northwestern Iran located in Ardabil province.

On one of its slopes around 3,600 metres (11,800 ft) there are large rock formations of eroded volcanic outcrops that resemble animals, birds, and insects.

Located in the extreme northwest of Iran, Savalan is the country's third-highest peak after Damavand and Alam-Kuh.

The nomadic people of the area live in small villages, with their round "Yurt" tents appealing to tourists.

The mountain is located in a continental climate with hot, dry summers and extremely cold, snowy winters.

Precipitation falls primarily as snow in late autumn, winter, and spring, and is sufficient to sustain seven glaciers near the summit above 4,000 metres (13,000 ft).

On a Friday during the climbing season (late June to mid-August), one may find hundreds of people on the mountain.

A ski resort named "Alvares" is within an hour's drive from Sareyn on the south ridge of Sabalan.
