Overview
The classic capital ski combo. Day 1 takes you to Chunkurchak — the largest resort near Bishkek — for a full day on the slopes with equipment, ski pass, and mountain lunch included. Return to the city for a comfortable hotel night. Day 2 heads to Orlovka, a quieter base with a different character and terrain. We handle all hotel pickups, transfers, and logistics — you just enjoy two distinct ski days without leaving the Bishkek region.
About Chunkurchak & Orlovka
Chunkurchak is the closest major ski resort to Bishkek — about 30 km and 45 minutes by road. At around 2,200 metres, it offers the widest choice of slopes and lifts near the capital, making it the natural choice for your first ski day. The base has rental shops, cafés, and runs for beginners through to intermediate skiers.
Orlovka is a smaller ski area in the mountains west of Bishkek, popular with locals who want a quieter alternative to Chunkurchak. The slopes are gentler and the atmosphere more relaxed — ideal for building confidence on your second day or enjoying a less crowded experience. It pairs perfectly with Chunkurchak: two different mountains, two different moods, both within easy reach of your hotel.
Together, Chunkurchak and Orlovka are the most popular ski combination for visitors staying in Bishkek who want more than a single day trip but don't have time for the long drive to Karakol. Both operate December through March.
