UPCOMING DATES 2026

Kyrghizistan: between ski mountaineering and yurts

Kyrgyzstan is a country in Central Asia made up of 94% mountains, which is why our destination, the Irdyk Valley, will give us uncontaminated landscapes capable of transmitting calm and serenity. Almost as if we were in another dimension! We will sleep in a colorful yurt and wake up surrounded by snow, ready to slide down the slopes of the incredible Kyrgyz mountains. Upon returning to camp, before the typical dinner, we will allow ourselves a moment of relaxation with a nice sauna. The right reward after the effort of ski mountaineering, right?!

Day 3-7: 5 NET DAYS OF SKI MOUNTAINEERING

Daily ski-on-foot trips from base camp, at altitudes up to 3700 m, with varied terrain and various levels of difficulty. Possibility of steep slopes and couloirs, but also of new and virgin itineraries. Upon returning, a nice barbecue awaits us among the yurts followed by the sauna.
For our ski mountaineering trips we have a wide choice available in the Suuktor Valley always starting from the camp and ranging across the vast amphitheater that surrounds it: Peaks of Dzheti Oguz (3634 m), Kum-Bel Pass (3390 m), At- Dzhayloo (3690 m), other unnamed peaks and new lines in the Telemu group.
