Backcountry Skiing in Uzbekistan - Trip Report
Hello!
We headed to Uzbekistan at the end of February 2026. The main goal of the trip was to explore the mountains on skis, but of course, we did some backpacking along the way too!
For skiing, we checked out two spots: first, the Chimgan and Amirsoy region. The infrastructure is brand new (hotels, ski lifts, restaurants). We managed some great tours, especially in Amirsoy, where the gondola gave us a real boost and let us go even further.
Next, we moved on to Gilan, just a stone’s throw from the Tajik border. The scenery was completely different—wild and rugged. We stayed in a super cozy little guesthouse, learned how to make Plov, and ate like kings. Despite the unpredictable weather, we had amazing ski tours. The villagers got a kick out of seeing us walk around with our skis on our shoulders—it’s probably not something they see every day!
After our skiing buddies headed home, we explored Khiva, Moynaq, Bukhara, Samarkand, and Tashkent before flying back.
As usual, we didn’t plan anything in advance, and traveling off-season was definitely the way to go. There was plenty of space everywhere. We traveled by train (except for Moynaq). It’s super easy—you buy tickets through the app, and you don’t even need to print them.
I couldn’t figure out how to post the links to the three videos I made from this trip, but you can find my channel in my profile. Have a look around! ;-)
If you’ve got any questions, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to answer as best as I can!

Laboratoire photo en Suisse Romande
Salut à tous !
Après presque 10 mois de voyage, le temps du retour approche à grands pas et par là même la grande joie de faire developper la centaine de pellicules noir-blanc que nous avons prises.
Est-ce que quelqu'un connaîterait un labo photo sérieux et pas trop cher en Suisse Romande ?
Merci pour votre aide

Salut à tous !
Nous passerons environ 2 mois en Nouvelle-Zélande lors de notre tour du monde et envisageons la possibilité d'acheter une voiture.
Quelles sont vos expériencea ? Est-ce que c'est difficile de la faire immatriculer quand on n'est pas résidents ? Quel est le prix de l'assurance ?
