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.
The Suusavyr Valley in the Tian Shan, with its stunning alpine scenery and old Soviet army bases, is one popular spot to explore on your snowshoes. You could easily spend a week or more here.
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.
If you have less time than that then heading out to Ala Archa National Park will yield great scenery and only take a day or so. Regardless of what you want or need, you’re bound to find it in Kyrgyzstan.
