HELISKIING IN KAZAKHSTAN
Semi-private holiday in Ridder
Kazakhstan is a little-known region that still attracts few tourists.
Located at the crossroads of Mongolia, Russia and China, this country is nevertheless a giant: It is five times larger than France with some 2,717,300 sq. km.
The diversity of weather conditions and terrain makes it a paradise for heliskiers. From late November, the powder settles in and the beautiful, mostly north facing, slopes are ready to be explored.

After you check-in, you can settle into your rooms.
In the afternoon, there will be a safety briefing (reminder of the rules to follow when skiing, avalanche safety, using Airbags, etc.).
You will be given your Airbag, which will be adjusted and tested with the help of the guides.
This will be followed by a presentation of the safety equipment, an explanation of how your avalanche transceiver works and possible interference from all electronic equipment.
