(Ascent with skis)

Peak Muztagh-Ata (7,546 m) is located in China. This summit is famous for its accessibility and has no technically difficult ascent. The majority of climbers prefer skitouring or snowshoeing and then unforgettable descent down on skis or snowboard.

Many travellers know about complexity of expedition’s organization to China. The Asia Mountains Company will assist with the invitation letter and confirmation of booking, required for a visa to China. We will also arrange all required permits. You won’t have to worry about anything besides the visa.

The group to Muztagh-Ata must consist of minimum 10 people. All the time the group is supported by a tour-leader from the Asia Mountains Company. The tour-leader is an experienced mountain guide, who controls the group all the way, assists with logistics, consults on a route. This tour-leader cannot be the guide for 10 people, but only a consultant. If you want an individual guide, require additional information from our managers.

The ascent to Muztagh-Ata begins upon arrival in Bishkek city or, where a representative of the Asia Mountains Company will meet you. From Bishkek the group goes towards the Kyrgyz-Chinese border, and then sets off towards the base camp.
