Beldersay Ski Resort — A Small Ski Resort in Uzbekistan
Explore Beldersay’s alpine-style skiing in the Western Tian Shan — long fall-line descents, old-school lifts, and the country’s longest continuous piste on the northern slopes of Mount Kumbel.
About This Video
This Beldersay Ski Resort video showcases the most alpine-style skiing in Uzbekistan. Set in the Western Tian Shan mountains near neighboring Chimgan, Beldersay is known for its 3,017-meter continuous descent and steep fall-line slopes on the northern flanks of Mount Kumbel.
The terrain is steeper than Chimgan’s gentle beginner slopes and rewards confident intermediates and advanced riders. Groomed days offer long carving runs with sustained fall-line, while fresh snowfall opens the door to sidecountry traverses and guided freeride lines. Conditions can shift quickly, giving the mountain real character. The vibe is classic and authentic — ticketing at the base, simple cafés, rentals nearby, and a no-frills feel that keeps the focus on skiing.
Updated since filming: The old chairlift and drag lift shown in this video have been replaced by a new 10-person Doppelmayr gondola (installed 2024), rising from 1,506 m to 2,307 m with a mid-station. For current lift info, facilities, and pricing, see our full Beldersay resort guide.
Many skiers include Beldersay as the “big run day” in a multi-resort itinerary — pairing Chimgan for warm-up laps and Amirsoy for modern comfort and amenities. If you’re looking for real skiing in Uzbekistan, this video shows why Beldersay delivers.
