Best time to visit
December to March is the best time to ski in Kyrgyzstan, but be prepared for frigid temperatures!
What’s the weather like?
Kyrgyzstan has a continental climate, which is characterized by extreme variations in seasonal temperatures. Summers can be scorchingly hot while winters are cold and long. If you are headed to Kyrgyzstan for heliskiing during the winters months, you’ll want to bundle up and be ready temperatures as low as -30° C. Brrr!
How long should I stay?
Getting here and around is not as easy as traveling within Europe, so you’ll probably want to spend at least a week here in order to make the journey worth your while. The heliskiing options are endless, and you’ll surely want to have enough time to experience the local culture of this fascinating land in the mountains
Kyrgyzstan may be an unsuspecting destination for heliskiing, but it is one of the best out there. If you are looking to stray away from the crowds and inflated prices of Europe this winter, consider booking a heliskiing trip to Kyrgyzstan. The temperatures may be below freezing, but the continental climate of this former Soviet nation also makes for some of the very best snow conditions on the planet. You won’t want to miss the truly one-of-a-kind “après ski” experience here in Kyrgyzstan either. Try the hearty, traditional dishes and strong drinks while you chat with the curious local characters. This mountainous country located along the Silk Road to China is incredibly interesting and just waiting to be discovered by the outside world. Plan your trip before the word spreads about heliskiing in Kyrgyzstan!
