🎿 2 Days / 1 Night
Bishkek Ski Weekend
From $390 / person
Route
Day 1: Bishkek → Kashka-Suu → ZIL → Bishkek · Day 2: Bishkek → Chunkurchak → Bishkek
Overview
A turnkey ski weekend built around your Bishkek hotel. Each morning we pick you up, drive to the slopes, and take care of equipment rental, ski passes, and mountain lunches. Day 1 combines two different bases — Kashka-Suu in the morning and ZIL in the afternoon — so you experience varied terrain in a single day. After returning to Bishkek, you stay overnight in a comfortable city hotel. Day 2 is a full day at Chunkurchak, the closest major resort to the capital. Everything is arranged — you just ski.
About Kashka-Suu & ZIL
Kashka-Suu is a ski base in the Kashka-Suu valley south of Bishkek, roughly 40–50 minutes from the city centre depending on road conditions. Nestled in a narrow mountain gorge, it offers a more intimate, local feel than the larger resorts — forested slopes, a compact base area, and a relaxed atmosphere that Kyrgyz families and weekend skiers enjoy.
The ZIL ski area (named after the nearby former industrial zone) is another capital-region base popular for afternoon skiing. It is easily combined with Kashka-Suu on the same day because both lie within driving distance of Bishkek and of each other. ZIL typically has shorter runs suited to beginners and casual skiers, making it a good second stop after a morning at Kashka-Suu.
Together, Kashka-Suu and ZIL give you two distinct mountain experiences in one day — without the commitment of a multi-day trip to Karakol. Both operate during the winter season (December–March) and are ideal for visitors who want to sample Kyrgyzstan's ski culture close to the capital.
On Day 2 you head to Chunkurchak — about 30 km and 45 minutes from Bishkek — for a full day on Kyrgyzstan's best-known capital-area resort with wider slopes and longer runs.
