Ski touring in the Western Altai, near the town of Ridder, offers you the chance to enjoy perfect powder snow in northeastern Kazakhstan. With no need for altitude acclimatisation, this region is ideal for skiers and snowboarders of all levels.
The Altai Mountains are covered in deep, pristine snow as early as November, and the skiable area stretches over 100 square kilometres. Expect forested freeride zones, wide-open alpine slopes, cozy mountain lodges, warm local hospitality, and relaxing après-ski in a charming town. Western Altai is truly one of Kazakhstan's finest off-piste destinations.
