Skitouring and Splitboarding in Kazakhstan!
Altay Mountain Lodge & Yurts lies in a realm of snow-capped peaks adorned with cedar and fir trees. Here, you’ll experience unique backcountry skiing with a background of tranquil taiga, meandering rivers through lush valleys, and awe-inspiring vistas.
From November to April, the snow blankets the land, and for miles around, you’ll find yourself alone in this pristine wilderness. This is a place where you can experience the pure thrill of gliding through deep snow and making first descents.
Mountains & Terrains
Altay Mountain Lodge & Yurts is nestled in the southwestern part of the Altay Mountains, located in the East Kazakhstan region. The exclusive ski touring area spans 25 square kilometers and offers the finest terrain in the region, featuring dramatic drops, deep snow, and a vast array of runs and terrain types. No other operation in Central Asia, or even in the entire country, can match the size, quality, and variety of the terrain available in the Altay Mountains.
Similar to Siberia, the Kazakhstan portion of the Altay Mountains enjoys remarkable snowfall, with over 5 meters of snow annually and depths reaching up to 3 meters. The season kicks off in November and extends into early April. Throughout the season, you can expect only one type of snow, powder, always deep and plentiful.
The Package
The package includes the organization of the entire trip from Ust-Kamenogorsk airport by bus and snowmobile transfer and back, 7 nights of accommodation in the yurts, and 6 full days of guiding service and skitouring.
The guides at Altay Mountain Lodge and Yurts are internationally certified and maintain the highest possible standards in the industry.
Altay’s approach guarantees top-notch safety standards and an unparalleled skiing experience, with attention to all aspects and details, from guides to meals, accommodation, and logistics to ensure a safe and unforgettable experience.

Lodging
Altay Mountain Lodge & Yurts’ camp offers an exceptional level of comfort for a remote mountain location. The camp features 3 yurts for guests and staff, a dining/kitchen yurt, a banya (bathhouse similar to a sauna that can be heated to over 80ยฐC), and a sanitary block equipped with washbasins and four standard toilets. Each guest yurt spans 50 sqm and includes 4 separate compartments, each with two beds. These compartments offer visual and slightly acoustic separation. The beds come with mattresses, linens, and warm blankets, while a modern wood stove keeps the yurt warm.
The camp is powered from morning until late evening, providing sufficient electricity to charge your devices. Although there is no cellular service, the camp offers Internet connectivity.
The menu features traditional Kazakh and Central Asian dishes, prepared with premium local ingredients, ensuring a first-class gastronomic experience.
Transportation
The logistics at Altay Mountain Lodge & Yurts camp are expertly managed using modern, heavy-duty Lynx Ranger snowmobiles. These powerful machines are equipped with both passenger and cargo sleds, enabling efficient transportation throughout the camp and beyond. The Lynx Ranger snowmobiles are specifically chosen for their reliability and performance in challenging winter conditions, ensuring that all necessary supplies and equipment are transported safely and promptly.
The snowmobiles are used strategically to reduce the time and effort required to access more remote areas of the valley. By shortening the approach to these distant locations, guests can spend more time enjoying unparalleled powder skiing in some of the most pristine and untouched terrain.
