Karakol is one of the best ski bases of Kyrgyzstan, with a wide range of slopes and good snow conditions. Today I invite you to join me for 4 to 10 days and enjoy a fantastic backcountry skiing trip in Kyrgyzstan.
Karakol is also the name of the fourth largest city in Kyrgyzstan, near the eastern tip of Issky Kul Lake*.* The Karakol ski base is located 7 km away from this city, on the northwestern ridge of the Terskey Ala Too mountains.
The Karakol slopes are suitable for all levels, from beginners to professional riders. The ski base has 4 ski lifts ant the base altitude is 2300 meters. Also, the ski base offers good accommodation options (you can check below this text).
The season begins in November and lasts until April, although the best time to go there is from mid-December until the end of March. During winter, daily temperatures range between -4 and – 7 C.
Most important, there is no reason to worry about snow, since the cover thickness is usually about 1.5-2.5 meters.
Find this backcountry skiing trip tempting? Then send me a request and we will start planning this great backcountry skiing adventure in Kyrgyzstan together. You can also check out my Ak Tash guided backcountry ski day tours!

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.
