From Beginner Slopes to Himalayan Backcountry

A Mountain That Grows With Your Ability

One of the things that makes Gulmarg special is the variety of terrain available within one destination. You can make your first turns on gentle beginner slopes, progress toward longer intermediate runs, use the Gondola to access higher terrain, and eventually explore advanced off-piste and backcountry terrain with an appropriately qualified guide.

Gulmarg Valley

Best for: First-timers and beginners

Gentler terrain around Gulmarg provides space to learn the fundamentals, practice speed control, and start linking turns before progressing farther up the mountain.

Kongdoori

Best for: Developing skiers and snowboarders

As your confidence grows, the terrain around Kongdoori opens up longer runs and a natural next step beyond the beginner area.

Mary’s Shoulder

Best for: Strong intermediate and advanced riders

Higher terrain introduces steeper pitches, changing snow conditions, and more opportunities for experienced skiers and snowboarders to develop their mountain skills.

Apharwat Ridge

Best for: Advanced and expert riders

The upper mountain is where Gulmarg’s freeride reputation becomes clear, with high-alpine terrain and extensive off-piste possibilities.

Backcountry & Touring Terrain

Best for: Experienced riders with professional guidance

Beyond the main lift-accessed areas lies a much larger mountain environment. Routes and objectives should be selected according to ability, fitness, snowpack, weather, and current mountain conditions.
