Today, February 8, President Sadyr Japarov, together with Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, visited Jyrgalan as part of his working trip to the Issyk-Kul region.
First, they familiarized themselves with the area and then discussed the progress of the construction of the year-round ski complex "Ala-Too Resort," which includes three resorts: Jyrgalan, Ak-Bulak, and Boz-Uchuk.
Azamat Kadyraliev, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration, presented the advantages of the project, including its strategic location, environmental friendliness, investment attractiveness, and international standards.
Currently, modern cable infrastructure is actively being constructed. High-speed combined cable cars B1 and B2 will provide a comfortable ascent for tourists to the slopes.
The total area of the ski cluster will be 3,916 hectares, and the length of the ski trails will reach 260 km, allowing "Ala-Too Resort" to rank among the ten longest resorts in the world.
The complex will also feature the construction of a panoramic restaurant, conference halls, a medical center, a stadium, an amphitheater, and recreational areas.
Work is currently underway to create water supply systems, design treatment facilities, and lay power lines. Additionally, the reconstruction of the Karakol - Jyrgalan road has begun.
Azamat Kadyraliev noted that in implementing the project, the government offers investors an individual approach and minimizes bureaucratic procedures at the document preparation stage.
He also reported that the construction of cable cars and private villas is planned to be completed in July, and the first phase of the resort town of Jyrgalan will open in December. Next year, the construction of hotels of various categories, from three to five stars, will begin.
After that, the president and Changpeng Zhao tested the descent off prepared trails (freeride).
Changpeng Zhao shared his impressions of skiing and the tourist potential of Kyrgyzstan, noting the beauty of the mountain landscapes and the purity of the air. He expressed his intention to recommend Kyrgyzstan as an attractive destination for recreation to his friends and partners.
