Mustagh Ata

High above the pastures of the chinese Pamir with its nomadic tajik and kyrgyz yurts here and there, Muztagh Ata (7546m) is the ideal summit for a first high altitude ascent. The base camp, at 4350 meters and at the limit of the pastures, is easily reached from the road and the equipment is carried on camel backs. Technically easy, this ascent goes through two altitude camps (5400m and 6100m). It is sometimes useful to set up a third camp. This expedition is a ski expedition because the west flank of the mountain is a long moderately steep slope and the entire mountain is skiable. The skis bring not only an extra safety but also pleasure and allow you to get back down quickly to the next camp.

Including : flight, transportation, hotels, individual tents at base camp, full board, group gear, permits, translator, mountain guide
