Description

Join me on this amazing 9-day ski touring traverse in the Terskey Ala-Too range in Kyrgyzstan. Also called Terskey Alatau, this range is part of the Tian Shan mountains.

Ski touring through this spectacular mountains is a perfect opportunity to discover breathtaking landscapes and incredible powder! Also, to discover the spirit of the Kyrgyz Mountains and the hospitality and unique culture of the Kyrgyz people.

During our traverse, we will spend some nights at the Karkara camp in cottages and also in a Yurta camp. We will sleep inside these hand-built yurts, made according ancient traditions.

I will take you on incredible ski tours across the Charkuduk pass to the Tup Valley and also to the Tuz Valley. On our last night in Bishek we will also enjoy a delicious farewell dinner. You can check the day-by-day itinerary below this description.
