Join us on a unique ski touring adventure in Ridder and enjoy an unforgettable deep powder skiing in the woods! Kazakhstan is an amazing country for adventures, offering new experiences, new destinations as well as new culture for skiers. We offer you the opportunity to ski in the Altai Mountains that stretch over 4 countries: Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan.
Our trip starts from Ust-Kamenogorsk (Oskemen in Kazakh), the capital of the East Kazakhstan Region. Then we drive to Ridder, which is the gateway to the northern and western part of Kazakhstan’s Altai.
Accommodation for the 6-day programme is in a comfortable, heated lodge in the woods of the Altai. Please note: single/double rooms will not be available during this trip. The lodge has a stove heating and provides warmth even in the bitter cold. Next to our lodge is a Banya (famous Russian banya). You’ll have a chance to feel the difference between the Russian banya and the Scandinavian sauna.

I have been ski touring with Frozen Rocks company in Ridder back in December 2022. The trip was well organized with respect to accommodation, logistics and food supply. For 3 days in a row we were ski-touring at different locations every day. So the intensity was varying. Good to have a good company aside along with professional guides/instructors. A great bonus was to finish a hard work day in a sauna well prepared by a accommodations holds!
