Description
Come with us to our newly discovered jewel for ski tourers and powder fans in the Altai Mountains in Kazakhstan!
We start the winter season with this new trip in November:
Light high forests and meters of snow that has fallen almost without wind, a mountain landscape like from a picture book of bygone times we explore on skis and experience thrilling dream descents in a terrain that allows a lot of leeway.
The Altai is very remote and known for its customs and traditions. There are still many shamans and healers, and the people here lead a very remote life in eastern Kazakhstan. The ski touring season couldn't start any better!
