It was reported that in November, the enterprise announced a competition to create a logo that would vividly reflect Kyrgyzstan’s national cultural and natural values, the spirit of the mountains, the purity of Issyk-Kul, and the concept of sustainable tourism.

More than ten professional designers — including artists, architects, and design studios — took part in the competition. As a result, the logo proposed by Alisher Baybekov was approved.

Representatives of construction companies from the neighboring country, together with the Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration — Head of the Department for Preparing Decisions of the President and the Cabinet of Ministers Azamat Kadyraliev, and the Director of the state enterprise “Ala-Too Resort” Zharkynbek Maksutov, visited the site where the resort will be built.

The investors saw that, under the initiative of President Sadyr Japarov and with the support of the state, active construction works are underway: roads leading to what will become the largest resort in Central Asia are being built, and construction of the cable car and clean water infrastructure is progressing. After their visit, they expressed their intention to participate in the second stage of the land auction for plots where the future “Jyrgalan” town will be developed.

In accordance with the requirements set by the state enterprise “Ala-Too Resort,” specialists from the Republican Center for Certification in Construction under the Ministry of Construction visited the construction site of the “Ala-Too Resort” in the Khan-Tengri rural area of the Ak-Suu district in the Issyk-Kul region.

At the site, the experts conducted comprehensive tests and inspections of the concrete used in the construction of the cable car.

The director of Ala-Too Resort, Zharkynbek Maksutov, and Matthias Schmid, the director of SkiMIS — who has over 20 years of experience in managing and operating leading ski resorts in the Alps, Scandinavia, New Zealand, and Eastern Europe — signed an agreement for the provision of consulting services for the ski resort project.

SkiMIS, which provides tailored consulting services for the development of modern winter tourist destinations and their efficient operation, will oversee all necessary construction work for the largest resort in Central Asia over the course of a year: ski slopes, lifts, snowmaking systems, snow removal, avalanche safety monitoring, as well as the ski school and access-control systems.

Meanwhile, work on the construction of the cable car, a clean water facility, and the road continues on schedule.

The goal of the competition is to create a modern, expressive, and memorable visual symbol that reflects the natural and cultural wealth of Kyrgyzstan, the spirit of mountain peaks, the purity of Issyk-Kul, the concept of sustainable tourism, as well as the national symbol of the Kyrgyz Republic – the snow leopard.

Designers, artists, architects, students, professional design studios, and creative associations of the Kyrgyz Republic are invited to participate.

The best work will become the official logo for the project of national importance, the "Ala-Too Resort" all-season mountain cluster, and will be used in all forms of the brand's visual communication. The winner will receive a monetary reward and official recognition as the symbol's author. A contract may also be concluded with the competition winner for the development of the corporate brand book and brand identity.

The mountain landscapes uniting Kyrgyzstan and Austria have recently become the basis for the joint implementation of sustainable development initiatives in the fields of ecology, mining, mountain tourism, sports, and mountaineering.

To further study this experience, a delegation from Kyrgyzstan, led by Azamat Kadyraliev, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration — Head of the Department for Preparing Decisions of the President and the Cabinet of Ministers, visited Austria.

During the visit, a meeting was held with Michael Doppelmayr, Chairman of the Board of Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group, where issues concerning the implementation of the cable car construction project at the "Ala-Too Resort" ski cluster in the Issyk-Kul region were discussed.

Zharkynbek Maksutov, Director of the State Enterprise "Ala-Too Resort," met with Barno Ikramova, Central Asia Editor-in-Chief of the globally renowned American magazine Travel + Leisure.

Founded in 1937, Travel + Leisure is one of the most authoritative publications in the tourism industry. Its pages feature exclusive reports — from luxurious resorts to the world's hidden gems.

In its upcoming November issue, the magazine plans to feature an article about the "Ala-Too Resort," which has the status of a project of national importance in Kyrgyzstan.

Upon the initiative of Zharkynbek Maksutov, Director of the State Enterprise "Ala-Too Resort," and as a result of negotiations with the management of the Manzherok resort, an agreement on experience exchange was reached. Under this agreement, specialists selected through an open announcement and interview process are undergoing training in Altai on operating PistenBully equipment — machines used for preparing snow-covered roads and ski slopes.

In the first stage, they study the theoretical foundations of operating snow tractors. Next February, the group will be sent for practical training, where participants will master operating the machinery and the process of preparing ski slopes.

On October 6, 2025, the Cabinet of Ministers approved Resolution No. 638 "On certain issues related to the implementation of the project of national importance 'Ala-Too Resort' All-Season Mountain Cluster."

The State Enterprise "Ala-Too Resort" under the Office of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic will be reorganized into an Open Joint Stock Company (OJSC), maintaining 100% of the shares in state ownership. The new OJSC will become the legal successor of the state enterprise for all rights and obligations.

The foreign company, specializing in the development and supply of automated access and payment systems, installs turnstiles and ticket control systems in shopping centers, airports, hospitals, leisure areas, and parking lots worldwide.

James Toal, having reviewed the project infrastructure, which encompasses the main resorts of Jyrgalan, Ak-Bulak, and Boz-Uchuk, expressed the company's interest in installing an access and control system at all facilities of the resort.

Emrah Dalkaya, the owner of leading global companies operating in several industries, met with Zharkynbek Maksutov, Director of the State Enterprise "Ala-Too Resort." Emrah Dalkaya learned about the major resort project, whose construction began in the Khan-Tengri Ayil Aymak of the Ak-Suu district in Issyk-Kul, during an off-site meeting of Kyrgyz-Turkish entrepreneurs held in Istanbul in early October, and traveled to Kyrgyzstan specifically for this purpose.

J. Maksutov provided a detailed account of the "Ala-Too Resort" project and explained the ambitious initiative to create the largest ski cluster in Central Asia. E. Dalkaya noted that although Turkey is considered one of the world's most convenient countries for recreation, a resort of this scale has not yet been built in the country. He added that the "Ala-Too Resort" project, which has the potential to become an important center for ski tourism and attract tourists from all over the world, will be presented to Turkish businessmen.

An off-site meeting of Kyrgyz-Turkish entrepreneurs took place in the capital of Turkey, in which Zharkynbek Maksutov, Director of the State Enterprise "Ala-Too Resort," participated. At the event, attended by representatives of leading construction companies from both countries, a broad presentation was held for the "Ala-Too Resort," which is set to become one of the largest tourism complexes in Central Asia.

Local and foreign investors expressed interest in the three-stage project and emphasized the need for joint steps to implement the ski cluster, which has significant tourism potential.

This was announced during a meeting between Zharkynbek Maksutov, Director of the State Enterprise "Ala-Too Resort," and Gilles Costerous, a representative of the French company Lazard. During the event, a video about the project was shown, followed by a detailed presentation on the resort, which is the largest in Central Asia and has the potential to become a major center for ski tourism, attracting tourists from all over the world.

In turn, Gilles Costerous, Chief Advisor for Lazard and Curator for Central and Eastern Europe, as well as CIS countries, emphasized that the project's implementation is of strategic importance for the development of tourism and the country's economy.

Zharkynbek Maksutov, Director of the enterprise, held a video meeting with Valeriy Efremov, Deputy Manager of the Manzherok resort, during which they discussed sending 10 specialists (**PistenBully operators**) for training to the Altai Republic at the end of October.

Prior to this, "Ala-Too Resort" will announce a competition for the selection of PistenBully operators — specialists in operating equipment that shapes ski slopes — to participate in the experience exchange program. In the first stage, the specialists will undergo theoretical training on equipment operation, and in the second stage, which will take place in February 2026, they will master practical skills in operating the machinery and preparing ski slopes.

In this regard, Zharkynbek Maksutov, Director of the enterprise, held a remote discussion with representatives of the international company OITAF. Previously, representatives of the foreign company, which has developed a number of global cable cars, as well as international standards and technical recommendations for their safe operation, received information from Zharkynbek Maksutov about the safety, maintenance, environmental, and other aspects of the tourism facilities being built at the major resort in Kyrgyzstan.

In turn, representatives of the OITAF organization expressed interest in providing necessary consulting solutions for risk analysis and the reliability of design solutions for cable cars, ski slopes, and artificial snow systems.

Construction work for the cable car on the territory where the "Ala-Too Resort" complex will be located, in the Khan-Tengri Ayil Aymak of the Ak-Suu district of the Issyk-Kul region, is being carried out according to the established schedule.

As is known, a contract was previously signed with an Austrian company, recognized as a global leader in the design and construction of cable cars, which expressed interest in implementing a major resort project in Central Asia. Currently, foreign engineers have nearly completed the foundation work for the cable car supports.

The village of Jyrgalan in the Ak-Suu district remained neglected for a long time, with some buildings constructed during the Soviet years beginning to fall into disrepair. Now, those who left the village are returning, and the number of visiting tourists has begun to grow.

According to local residents, the reason for this is the start of construction of the resort, which is unique for Central Asia and unites majestic mountain peaks. While only mountain tourism enthusiasts visited here before, this year, as the village closest to the resort, Jyrgalan has seen an increase in land prices, as well as interest in purchasing abandoned homes.

The boundaries of the large facility, with a total area of **3.87 acres (156.6 sotoks)**, were clarified by the State Enterprise "Ala-Too Resort" on September 6, 2025. Construction of other hotels, VIP cottages, and modular homes will begin soon in the Jyrgalan Peak area of the Ak-Suu district.

It should be recalled that out of 49 lots put up for auction in July, winners for 14 lots were determined. All of these were won by local investors.

The boundaries of the land plots have been clarified and boundaries for future facilities have been established in the territory of the Khan-Teniri Ayil Aymak.

The event was attended by Azamat Kadyraliev, Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration – Head of the Department for Preparing Decisions of the President and the Cabinet of Ministers. He presented "Krasnaya Kniga" (land title documents) to the investors who won the July auction for the allocated land plots.

President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov held talks today, August 8, with Michael Doppelmayr, Chairman of the Board of Doppelmayr/Garaventa Group.

It is worth noting that this Austrian-Swiss group is implementing a project for the construction of a cable car in the Ala-Archa Nature Park in the Chuy region and at the "Ala-Too Resort" ski cluster in the Issyk-Kul region. The parties discussed the progress of the joint projects, emphasizing the importance of adhering to construction schedules and maintaining high quality of work.

Set to become the biggest year-round ski resort in Central Asia, this development is more than just a resort. It represents a new urban landscape, a new economic driver, and a whole new level of tourism for the country. In the future, the peaks of Jyrgalan, Ak-Bulak, and Boz-Uchuk will be linked by a cable car system.

The region’s pristine air and breathtaking natural scenery will be complemented by cutting-edge infrastructure. The project will feature ski trails, cable cars, ethnovillages, five-star hotels, cafés, and restaurants. The total road network will span 250 kilometers. The resort is expected to welcome up to 2 million tourists annually and will create approximately 4,600 jobs.

What this means:
🔹The organizational and legal form of the enterprise remains unchanged.
🔹All property and non-property rights and obligations are retained in full.
🔹The enterprise "Ala-Too Resort" is the direct legal successor of "Kyrgyz Courchevel".
