With an elevation of 4221 metres, the Zard-Kuh is located in the Zagros Mountains in the Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province of Iran.[3] The Karun and also Zayanderud rivers start in the Zagros mountains near the Zard-Kuh. There are small glaciers on the mountain owing to the relatively high precipitation, which are the only glaciers in the subtropics outside the Himalayas, Andes and Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.[4]

Geologically, the Zard-Kuh is situated in the Sanandaj-Sirjan geologic and structural zone of Iran and is mainly made of Cretaceous limestone.[5]

The famous early documentary Grass captures on film the Bakhtiari tribe's crossing of Zard-Kuh barefoot in the snow with 50,000 people and 125,000 animals.

Son sommet principal, Kolonchin, culmine à 4 221 m d'altitude, ce qui lui vaut d'être le deuxième massif le plus élevé[1] des monts Zagros (après le massif de Dena) et d'être recouvert de neiges éternelles.
