The rugged and varied terrain of Kyrgyzstan lends itself to snowshoeing. Whether you only have a few days, a week or an entire month or more, there are plenty of options.

Jyrgalan Valley and Irdyk Gorge are two other excellent and scenic spots to practice the sport. You’ll need at least a week to explore both of these.
