with parents only).

Heli ski
tour takes place in the mountains of Western
Tien Shan in Central Asia, Uzbekistan (Ugam, Pskem and Chatkal ranges)
which are only 100 km far from Tashkent - the capital of Uzbekistan at
the altitude from 2500 to 4200 m above sea level. Amplitude drop
to downhill is up to 2 km and the downhills are up to 10 km
long. Group accommodation and helicopter base is situated in the popular
local ski resort "Chimgan".
The following features distinguish
Western Tien Shan from other international centres of heliskiing (Canada,
Himalayas, Alaska, New Zeeland, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and others):
- stable sunny weather
- deep powder snow
- super comfortable temperatures for skiing
- world's best prices for 30-km package
Getting
there and away.
Tashkent International airport accepts all types of aircraft from many
countries of the world - more than any other in Central Asia. You will
be met by our representatives at the airport and taken to Chimgan (90 km;
1,5-2 hrs drive) where you will have a rest at the hotel.
Accommodation.
Usually, the basic hotel for the program is "Charvak Oromgohi" 3*, which
is situated at the picturesque shore of Charvak water reserve. It has
the modern apartments and infrastructure - all corresponding to the European
standard. The helicopter base is situated close to the hotel. Also there
is an option (especially for groups) to accommodate in other hotels like
"Archa" in Chimgan mountains or "Beldersay" 3* in
Beldersai gorge. But in this case it will take from 30 to 40 min to get
to the helicopter by car (that we shall provide for you), depending on
the place of accommodation and road condition.
Special
terms and conditions for this tour and additional information
