Join me for 1 to 3 days of backcountry skiing in Ak Tash, a small ski resort 40 km southeast of Bishkek, the capital city of Kyrgyzstan.
Ak Tash is located in the Oruu-Sai gorge, in a beautiful untouched valley with waterfalls, springs, mountain rivers and juniper forests. It's definitely a great location and the best base in the area for a fantastic ski adventure.
The Oruu-Sai gorge also boasts the Oruu-Sai ski resort and there are also other ski bases close to the area, like Kolgookar, Kashka-Suu, and Edelweiss.
There are 2 lifts in the Ak Tash resort and there is no snow cat, but we are able to enjoy great descents on fresh snow here, thanks to its northern exposure and a height of 2100 meters.
The Ak Tash slopes are suitable for the intermediate or advanced skier. There are many exciting possibilities for experienced off-piste riders and the access to the terrain is convenient and safe. The juniper thickets deserve a special mention.
Besides, the ski base hotel offers decent accommodation at affordable prices. In only a few days, you can enjoy a great backcountry experience and explore the surrounding valleys.
So what are you waiting for? Request your booking and join me on this backcountry ski tour in Ak Tash in Kyrgyzstan! I also guide an 8-day ski tour in the Terskey mountains. Check it out!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
