We invite you to visit one of the best areas for off-piste skiing - alpine Suusamyr valley. The valley stretches from east to west on 90 km, forming the southern slopes (Kyrgyz Ridge) and northern (Suusamyr Too Ridge) exposition. The relief is very diverse - from the wide slopes to steep couloirs with falls. There are no forests of firs as in Karakol, or of nuts as in Arslanbob. At first glance, this region looks harsh and lifeless. However, the panorama that opens from the top of these mountains will be in your memory forever. The difference in altitude is up to 1000 meters, the slopes are often 30 degrees or more. Dry, powdery snow forms a cover depth of half to two meters.
During the program one day can be devoted to the rest. At this day, you can ride on the slopes of Suusamyr’s ski area, or take advantage of a snowcat riding or just meditate sitting under mountain sun, and in the evening warm up in the sauna. The day of rest could be replaced by a ski touring by participants’ request. Accommodation during the program at the ski resort in warm and comfortable cottages. Cottages provide storage space for ski equipment and clothes drying. The cafe offers a delicious variety of dishes of European and national cuisine.
