Amirsoy Mountain Resort
Amirsoy Mountain Resort
Amirsoy Mountain Resort is the largest and most modern ski resort in Uzbekistan and all of Central Asia. Located in the picturesque Western Tien Shan mountains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Amirsoy opened in 2019 and quickly gained international attention—Lonely Planet even described it as "Next Season's St. Moritz."
Situated just 65 km east of Tashkent, the resort is easily accessible—about a 90-minute drive from Tashkent International Airport.
Location and Terrain
The resort spans 900 hectares on the northern slopes of Maigashkan Mountain, part of the Chatkal Range. The ski area ranges from 1,630 to 2,275 meters in elevation, with beautifully maintained pistes and ample opportunities for freeride skiing.
Ski Facilities
As of 2022, Amirsoy boasts 28 kilometers of slopes, including runs suitable for beginners and intermediate skiers. The infrastructure includes gondolas and chairlifts from Doppelmayr and Poma, snowmaking systems from TechnoAlpin, and snow groomers by PistenBully. The resort is also equipped with conveyors and adaptive skiing facilities for guests with disabilities.
