Summer is ferociously hot in the lowlands, but July and August are the best months to visit the mountains. Cold rains begin in November and snow soon closes mountain passes. The ski season at the Upper Ala-Archa Mountain Ski Base lasts all year round. Note that winters are bitterly cold, and finding food can be a problem, since lots of eateries close for the season. Many domestic flights are also grounded in winter. |
