Ski touring trip to Kyrgyzstan
This trip takes us to the remote mountain regions of Kyrgyzstan, where we will combine foreign cultures, ski tours, new discoveries, travel and hospitality.
We'll start by spending a day at the Karakol ski resort, which serves as a starting point for a tour or a few freeride runs, as well as gaining insight into the local ski culture. We'll then spend two days ski touring in the quiet mountain village of Jyrgalan before continuing on to the Yrdyk yurt camp in the Yrdyk Valley, which will serve as our base camp for four days of varied tours in secluded surroundings.
The tour concludes with two days of touring at the Too-Ashuu Pass in the Suusamyr Valley, as well as a day in Kyzart, before we comfortably conclude the trip in Bishkek. This is a tour for anyone who wants to experience unknown landscapes, ski tours, and cultural impressions among a very friendly people.
Also on board: our always cheerful and very funny Jamil, our local guide and translator, who will accompany us and is already a very good friend of mine!
