In 8 days, we will explore the remarkable highlights of skiing in Kyrgyzstan.
Don’t expect autobahns, groovy after-ski pubs or raclette. Get yourself ready for horseback riding, nomadic culture, yurts and shashliks. Almost 90% of Kyrgyzstan lies above 3,000 meters, making it a true mountainous paradise. Vast, untouched landscapes stretch as far as the eye can see, from snow-covered peaks to alpine lakes and wide-open valleys.
