Guided freeride tours in Almaty, Kazakhstan

Almaty is a modern, bustling city situated in the foothills of the Tien Shan mountains. Its location means it offers almost unlimited possibilities for backcountry skiing and snowboarding for people of any ability, from newcomers to seasoned professionals.

The range of backcountry areas within a short drive of the city include rolling forested hills and steep, exposed lines with cliffs, drops and couloirs.

The team at FrozenRocks is made up of people who love the backcountry and love freeride! If you want to discover the backcountry around Almaty, we can organise professional mountain guides for hiking, skitouring and splitboarding – and for more experienced groups we can offer ski mountaineering guides.

We organize several guided ski tour programmes over the course of the season, as well as ski tour schools. We also offer heliskiing programmes and an introductory tour to ski resorts around Almaty.

If you’re just starting out or looking to improve your riding, we offer classes on basic freeride techniques for skiers and snowboarders.

You can find more information in the Programmes section, where you can register to take part in any of our events.
