Kyrgyzstan Yurt-based Ski and Split Tour
Bordering Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and China, Kyrgyzstan is a welcoming oasis in a hugely misunderstood part of the world. With an average elevation of 3,000m (9,840ft), and 30% of its landmass buried under permanent ice and snow, the country’s landscape and people are defined by a ruggedness utterly unique to the highlands of Central Asia.
We offer the ultimate setup for adventurous, experienced skiers and riders to explore Kyrgyzstan’s remote Terskey Ala-Too Range. Our winter-ready yurt camp sits at 2,550m with immediate access to 3,600m summits, and overlooks the stunning Issyk-Kul Valley, home to the second largest alpine lake in the world. Our yurts are run in collaboration with locals from the village at the foot of the mountains we play in, contributing an irreplaceable intercultural element to the skiing experience.
