Karakol is a major tourist destination which gives a good starting point for hiking, trekking, skiing and mountaineering in the high central Tian Shan to the south and east. Karakol is famous among skiers and snowboarders from former USSR for its ski resort. Situated just 20 minutes from the town, the Karakol Ski Base provides brilliant services. Riding at Karakol includes forest areas as well as cleared trails. A popular two- or three-day trek is to head up the Karakol Valley, cross over the watershed above spectacular Ala-Kol Lake and return via Altan Arashan Valley. The main trekking season is between June and September. Then there are some historical sites like Orthodox Church, Dungan Mosque, Przhevalski Museum, Karakol Historical Museum, Bugu-Ene Zoo, Barskoon Waterfall and The Fairy Tale Canyon which you cannot miss to see.
The Karakol Ski resort is surrounded by pine forest and is an absolute delight for both beginners and experienced skiers. The view around is so spectacular which can be viewed over Issyk Kul Lake and the wider Tien Shan range. Snow blanket above 1m over the mountain is quite normal to be seen and free riders find it’s quite easy to access virgin snow to cruise outside the slope. You can enjoy the small fun park over here as well. You will find 20 KM of slopes available for skiing and snowboarding. There is this winter sport area which is situated between the heights of 2300 and 3040 meters. So you have 740 meters in between for winter sport area.

Located on the slopes of Terskey Ala-too in the Tien Shan range near the southern shore of Issyk Kul Lake Karakol Ski base is modernized and very well equipped.

You can arrange transport both ways, but you can avail taxi also as there will be plenty of taxis waiting to take you down at the ski base just as well.
