What a wonderful place this "Forest Fairy tale! Thanks to the work of so many people, residents of Almaty, the region and guests have the opportunity to contemplate such wonderful beauty in the mountains! Century-old fir trees, a mixed forest, a gorge protected from mudslides, everything is well-groomed, green and pleasing to the eye and soul! Thanks to everyone who is involved in the creation of such a great place of relaxation, as well as the restaurant with excellent Georgian cuisine and all the staff! The time spent in this beautiful recreation area is unforgettable! I want to come back here ...

A wonderful ski resort. Two swing lifts, the rest are yoke-type. The tracks are beautiful. There are nuances in the price, for example, the non-refundable cost per skipass.

My favorite Forest Fairy Tale! I really like to go there. You can just take a walk with the children and climb the Village in the trees. You can take the lift up the mountain and admire the scenery. You can sit in a cafe and have a delicious meal. I like how everything is organized: parking, ticket offices, hotel, etc. We'll come again!

Long trails, a couple of steep and rather difficult slopes, you can start riding on the board here, as there are enough gentle and green trails + a convenient tutorial.

I visited the ski complex here. I really like this ski complex. This is the place where I first got on a snowboard without an instructor and immediately from the main descent. I've been visiting it for 2 years now. Everything suits me. It's a pity there is no loyalty system for repeated visits. I do not advise you to come on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. There are a lot of people. You stand in line longer than you go up, and even more so you go down. Then it is better to choose night skiing. It's beautiful on weekdays.

A great place for beginner skiers. Comfortable and neat trails, good infrastructure, there is a cafe, a rental school. I was also lucky with the sunny weather, I enjoyed skiing a lot. For experienced skiers, the trails may seem short and easy.

The most beautiful place! A real forest fairy tale!
This place is great at any time of the year - even in summer, even in winter, even in autumn, even in spring. Treehouses are something! And the hammocks on the forest trail! There is nothing like this anywhere in the Almaty region!
Soon, my wife and I will go there again for her birthday. We are already looking forward to it!
The staff is caring and attentive. The cable car works perfectly. There are attractions for both adults and children.
If you haven't been here, you haven't seen a real fairy tale!

I appreciate the hotel accommodation. We were occupied for more than an hour. Initially, we made a reservation using a gift certificate, and then, after taking the money, we realized that it had not been checked. There were 0 reactions to all payment receipts, and no apologies either. Well, besides that, for the money, the room is small, not cozy, the shower is sharply contrasting, then cold, then hot. The cleaning is good, but the hair in the bed was found(

An unexpectedly high-level tourist complex located in the gorge. We went blindly for a couple of days "just to get some air away from the city." We ordered a Yandex taxi for 30 minutes, everyone refused to go, but there was one brave man with whom we made mistakes in the dark, but still reached this beautiful place.
We thought it would be something like a slightly renovated Soviet boarding house, but the place turned out to be instagrammatically beautiful (especially the dawn from our treehouse) and with very good infrastructure. It is clear that the owners tried their best - even little things like dressing gowns in the rooms, staff workwear, etc. are decorated in the same style according to the brandbook)
Modern chalets, treehouses, yurts (they were closed for restoration - they dreamed of staying there, but it did not happen this time). Customers and luggage are taken away from the reception on electric cars, which makes it easier to climb the hill.
Two restaurants are Italian, where good quality breakfasts are served in the morning. And a Kazakh cuisine restaurant with delicious local dishes. Up on the mountain, we still saw a cozy restaurant in a chalet, but it was closed in May.
From entertainment - baths, massages, a rope park. You can take funiculars to the mountains, an interesting hiking trail along the mountain range, with various interactive activities along the way. For us, unprepared tourists, the difficulty level was just right. It is easy and exciting to walk with even younger children.
One of the disadvantages - as always and everywhere - is the staff. We arrived at about 9 p.m., they took us by electric cars to the paths leading to the tree houses, dropped us off, left, and then our quest began "find your tree house in the dark, and even with a 20-kilogram suitcase.." We need a map of the houses, friends. And it would be nice to help you get there with heavy things.
The second unpleasant moment was connected with the waiters, who refused to feed us at 9 p.m., although the restaurant was open until 10 and, as we were informed by phone, the order could be accepted until 9.30. We called the manager, explained ourselves, and after a couple of minutes a wonderful girl manager came to our rescue, did not let us starve to death and even treated us to sweets) so the guys are great, they know how to work.
The place is beautiful, I advise you to take a look if you find yourself in Kazakhstan)

Beautiful territory; wonderful views; pleased with the variety of restaurants for different tastes.
The main impression is a very cool rope park: fun, diverse, extreme. I recommend taking a ticket for 4 hours - you will have time to go through all the tracks and even have a snack during the break. Pay close attention to the recommendations for height on extreme tracks - even I, with a height of 171, had to strain in places to hook the carbines on some of the backlines; a friend with a height of 156 would definitely not have coped without my help.

Overall, it's not bad. The idea is great. But…
1. Rude staff at the ticket offices where tickets for children's entertainment are sold. Not friendly, not responsive.
At the same time, the staff of the cable car and the ticket office for the cable car work much better.
2. The restaurant of national cuisine is a SHAME. I haven't tasted worse food in years. The children and I picked up a lot of different dishes, everything remained practically untouched.
If the goal was to discredit our authentic Kazakh cuisine, it was achieved by 200%. I have never felt such awkwardness for our kitchen. There are a lot of foreigners, I can imagine what kind of judgment they make after visiting this glaring misunderstanding. At the same time, prices are at the level of fashionable restaurants in the city.

We rented two rooms — one tree house for us and a yurt for our parents. The tree house was not as cozy as expected. The bed was made up of two and a half double beds, which caused a hole to form in the middle, and the whole bed was an uncomfortable lump, which did not allow normal sleep. We were with my daughter (1 year and 9 months old), and this disgusting sleeping place caused a lot of inconvenience. Nevertheless, the house itself is quite cozy and creates a pleasant atmosphere in the evening. Unfortunately, Wi-Fi works intermittently and sometimes disappears completely. There is a kettle and cups in the house, which turned out to be very convenient. The climb to the lodge is quite steep, which may be a problem for some. The yurt, which was rented by the parents, was very cozy, without any complaints - the parents were satisfied.
We liked the breakfast at the hotel, but the choice of coffee is limited only to Americano, and it was completely tasteless. All additional activities require a separate payment and close fairly early.

The place is super, fresh air. Beautiful views.
In places, garbage lies on the paths after someone's picnics.
We had lunch at a Georgian restaurant for a tidy sum, and then when we decided to go there again to drink tea before leaving, we waited for the waiter for 10 minutes, who never came up. As a result, they left with a sediment.

This is not the first time we have rested here. Very beautiful. The restaurant on the top floor is expensive and the desserts are not delicious.
But as always, I was pleased with the Georgian restaurant. It is difficult to order a taxi. You have to wait 30-40 minutes.
But the atmosphere itself, the nature, everything is clean and well maintained. Pleasant reception staff. There are family discounts.

There is nowhere to eat much, but otherwise a very pleasant small ski resort, beautiful trails (especially to the other part of the mountain, between the fir trees).
There were no problems with the size when renting, although gloves for rent were only offered in wet form (refused). There is about the same amount of time to go, but there are fewer people than on the Cimbulac, and there are simpler trails (not 70% red), more for walking than for sharp skiing

We are in a Forest fairy tale now!!! Thanks to the staff for the great service👍🏻 At a personal request, the girl at the reception helped me a lot!
We live in a tree house, very cozy, clean. Each house has a toilet and a shower, all accessories, bathrobe, slippers, tea and coffee station, TV, excellent Wi-Fi, by the way!
If you are staying here, then there is a 15% discount on all entertainment and restaurants.
For younger children, you can buy one general ticket, it is for entering playgrounds and a children's rope park.
The eldest son separately took a ticket to the rope park, which is already there for adults and children from 140 cm. He liked it!
The territory is large, there is a place to walk, a lot of beautiful places🤩
And we have breakfast included in the price, a buffet.
There is a restaurant serving Georgian, Italian and Kazakh cuisine. We had dinner at the national restaurant of Kazakh cuisine - it was served tasty and quickly.
There is a burger joint, but it didn't work today. And the store is closed on Wednesday and Thursday, by the way.
I like it here, I'm glad that we came to relax here)
