Kyrgyzstan: Portrait


    • It takes a half day for our heavy truck to reach the trailhead. The vehicle just moves on, recklessly on bad roads. But in the high valley where the nomads have their camp, we stop, unload and begin a week-long ascent. We cross the tree-line, trek further and deeper into the valley, climb passes and glaciers, and eventually the ridge to reach the last high camp. It is bitter cold and sunny and the ice wall of several pitches waits for us.
    • We have a good team. Alexander is our mountain guide, Pjotr cooks and Sascha works as a porter. He’s Kyrgyz, but the other two are ethnic Russians. Communication is important and easy as everybody knows English. I add a few phrases of basic Russian and Alexander remembers some german vocabulary from grammar school. As soon as we reach some heights, the horizon starts to open up, and only now I begin to understand, that this country is truly a sea of white islands. My mountaineer heart accelerates now, effortlessly.


    • Kyrgyzstan is a country in Central Asia. Like Tajikistan, his southern neighbor, Kyrgyzstan is very mountainous: 95% of its surface are mountains, reaching 7.400 m altitude.
    • The most-known mountain range is Tien Shan in the east and southeast of the country. China and Kasachstan have borders there. In the southwest, there is the Pamir range.
    • Due to its geographical position, continental climate dominates: a hot and dry summer, and a very cold and dry winter. The vegetation is mostly bush.





    Kyrgyzstan: Activities & actual conditions


      • The Tien Shan and the Pamir offer endless possibilities for back country skier and ski mountaineers. The best season is spring, the winters are very cold.
      • The biggest challenge is logistics and bases. Helicopter support is feasible, however for bigger groups. For single tourers or very small groups: skidoo or offroad vehicles.


      • The mountains of Tien Shan are serious terrain. The high altitude, paired with very cold and harsh weather, are the main obstacles. Glaciers dominate the landscape, the approach to the base camps takes a lot of time or needs helicopters to get there.
      • A long approach and extra permits are necessary for the Pamir range.
      • Both regions are tectonically active which can trigger avalanche or rock falls suddenly.


      • The best trekking is maybe in the lower mountains of the Tien Shan and south of Lake Yssykköl, mostly in combination with horses or other pack animals.
      • Several days treks can be done also in every small side valley, up to and along glaciers.
