Holidays in Ridder

The city of Ridder is located in East Kazakhstan region, in Rudny Altai at the foot of the Ivanovsky ridge, in the upper reaches of the Ulba River. The city itself was founded in 1786 and named after Philip Ridder, who discovered a deposit of polymetallic ores. Today Ridder is a center for the mining and processing of polymetallic ores, but the city has gained great popularity because it is the center of winter sports in Kazakhstan. And since 2010, the “feature of the city” is motor racing and Ridder began to be called the “capital of motor racing of East Kazakhstan region”. Holidays in Ridder are mainly holidays for lovers of winter activities: skiing, skating, sledding, balloons, etc. The climate here is sharply continental - cold winters and hot summers. In winter, winds blow from the south and southeast, so the northern slopes of the mountains are more attractive for skiing. Snow cover reaches up to 10 meters. The skiing season usually starts from December to March; you can ride from November to June. On the Ivanovsky Ridge there are two routes with the appropriate infrastructure. This is the Edelweiss base located 10 kilometers from the city of Ridder and the Stardust Camp base, which is located in the village of Verkhnyaya Khariuzovka, 4 kilometers from the city of Ridder. Here, lovers of active winter recreation can ride not only on groomed snowcat trails, but freeride is also possible.
