Among the incredible landscapes of the Western Tian-Shan mountains, only 85 kilometers away from Tashkent, one can find some of the best skiing resorts in the Middle East – the new and well-equipped Amirsoy, as well as Chimgan and Beldersay.
Numerous ski trails and slopes will suit both rookies and experienced skiers. The Amirsoy resort features 10 slopes of different levels of difficulty; there are also cable cars of three different types: gondola, armchair, and conveyor (Doppelmayr and SunKid). The ski pass system is also available, as well as the fully functional skiing academy right on site.
Beldersay will better suit those looking for athletic skiing (slopes are “blue”, “red”, and “black”), but you can also find a couple of slopes that are well suited for beginners.
The clearest mountain air you have ever experienced, soft-climate winter with steady sunny weather, long skiing slopes and trails of different difficulty levels, relatively long skiing season that runs from December until April, comfortable hotels and ski resorts, practically no long lines for cable cars, wonderful conditions for free-riding and back-country, unique oriental atmosphere, and the traditional Uzbekistan hospitality – this is what skiing recreation in Uzbekistan is like!
