Freeride and Backcountry in Kazakhstan
Every season we offer a series of freeride, ski mountaineering and skitouring trips in the mountains around Almaty(Kazakhstan). Our programmes include freeride camps and guided tours for skiers and snowboarders of all different ability levels – from absolute beginner to experienced pro.
For more experienced riders who want to discover new spots. Our mountain guides show you the best places to ride – and share tips, theory, and local knowledge.

Two-three days of full-on backcountry hardcore for those who are strong in body and mind! We’ll tackle some of the trickiest lines in the mountains around Almaty.
Our 4-day Almaty freeride intro tour is designed to give you a taste of three very different but equally amazing resorts near the city.
