At over 7,500m, Muztagh Ata is the world’s highest ski mountaineering peak. Located in China’s Xianjiang province in the
far western section of the Pamir Mountain Range close to the borders of China, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, this huge isolated
mountain dominates the surroundings – its glaciated summit looms up to 2 miles over the Subashi valley. It is located close to
the old ‘silk road’ and despite the barren, remote landscape it is a stunning area. The mountain was first climbed in 1956. The
first ski ascent was in 1980.
