DAY 2-6
Every day of skiing will start with a substantial breakfast after which you will be taken by helicopter to one of the Western Tien-Shan ranges (Chatkal, Ugham, Pskem, Maidantal). Where your guide takes you will depend on weather and snow conditions. But each day our goal is to give you the best possible skiing experience to meet your lust for extreme activity. A variety of nutritious food (lunchbox) will be provided for you during your skiing activity, so that you won’t have to return to hotel for lunch.
After day-long skiing you can enjoy swimming pool, sauna, rest or socialize in the comfort of a 4-star hotel “Beldersay” or 3-star hotel “Charvak”. In the evening you’ll be served a delectable dinner with national Uzbek and European dishes prepared by the chef of the hotel restaurant.
At certain times snow and weather conditions may fail to cooperate you in your desire for maximum skiing. But that does not necessarily mean that such non-skiing days will be wasted idling in the hotel. During the week you can spend some of your time in Beldersay gorge where ski lift and chair-lift can take your to “Kumbel” mountain skiing route for downhill racing, or we’ll provide transportation for the trip to Tashkent.
