From Karakol
Kapriz Karakol is a modern year-round hotel on the Karakol ski base, 7 km from Karakol town in the Issyk-Kul region — combining comfort, dining, and alpine activities in every season.
The resort combines high service standards, comfortable accommodation, quality cuisine, and active leisure options in every season — from winter skiing to summer mountain stays.
Check-in: from 19:00
Check-out: until 17:00
The hotel sits at 2,300 m above sea level on the slopes of the Küngey Ala-Too range, among the pine forests of Karakol National Park.
The region's unique climate is shaped by nearby unfrozen Lake Issyk-Kul. In winter, daytime temperatures rarely fall below -5 °C, and abundant sunny days let guests enjoy skiing and mountain sunshine at the same time.
The Karakol ski base has a rich history — in Soviet times, athletes from the USSR Olympic team trained here.
Today it is one of Central Asia's best ski centres. Since 2009 the slopes have been served by four modern chairlifts: two triple and two double.
Off-piste routes through forest sections and untouched east-facing snow slopes are available for advanced skiers.
Snowmobile transfers to remote skiing areas can be arranged for deep-snow and freeride enthusiasts.
Unforgettable scenery, clean mountain air, and vast snowfields create a true sense of freedom in Karakol.
7 km from Karakol town — about 20 minutes by car along the road to the ski base.
November – March for skiing; June – September for hiking and summer mountain stays.
Stay directly at Kapriz Karakol on the ski base — standard, superior, and suite rooms available.
