We were in the summer with the aim of climbing to the top. The views are certainly stunning all around. A ticket must be taken for all three sections of the cable car. You can walk back somewhere, if you wish. It is better to come in sunny weather in the morning, when there are not so many people. After lunch, there are 50-100 people queuing for the cable car (we were on Sunday). There is a rental of clothes and equipment downstairs before the first ascent. If you forgot a windbreaker, then you definitely need to rent it, plus a plaid. If you have a windbreaker, then it makes sense to rent a plaid in cloudy weather. One thing is 1000t. We were fine at 3200m while the sun was out. Clouds came, it snowed (in August) and the cable car broke down a little. While it was being repaired, they waited for 30 minutes. Only the blankets were saved.
The cafe is definitely BigSky Cofferoom. The coffee is delicious and 30-40 percent cheaper than in the neighboring OBLAKA bar. To the right of the cable car at 3200m, you can walk 300-500 meters over the rocks and take a closer look at the glacier.
The cable car is fascinating. You can get here by taxi, by bus # 12 from the east of Dostyk Ave. There are cafes and restaurants. The rental database. Everything is worthy.
The views are gorgeous if you're lucky with the weather. And it can change in a matter of minutes. There are a lot of people, both skating and just gawking. It's a pity the playground at the very top burned down, the view from it is simply amazing.
"After all, only mountains can be better than mountains."
The beauty is indescribable. The rise is at the 3200 mark, so it can be cool in shorts and a T-shirt. There is a Cafe at the upper station where you can eat pizza and drink hot tea or coffee
It's a cool view, but it's a pity that it closes early. I haven't tried the gurney yet, but I'll do it soon and share my opinion.

Skating 10/10.
The most comfortable fare is night, there are much fewer people, and there are not so many people who ride, too, which makes riding more comfortable for more experienced ones.
The view is excellent, the outline of Almaty is clearly visible from the kombi-2 highway.
There is a medical center, so you can get an initial examination and treatment of wounds.
The cable car takes a long time, but the view always compensates for this time :)
Beautiful views, it's a pity, the skating rink was closed. We rode the cable car to the top, I advise you to take warm clothes. We missed it, experienced the extreme
The skating is great. A large load, but no more than in Krasnaya Polyana.
There are not enough snow trucks, by lunch the tracks are already broken, by the evening it is difficult to keep control of them at all.
The incredible power of the mountains.We got in line for tickets at the ticket office for about 20 minutes, but this could not turn the impression of everything we saw in the future
Why is it not possible to travel near the ticket offices not by cable car, but by special transport? You don't know how long to go and look for this transport. Which we haven't found.
Medeu is a high-altitude miracle!!! Climbing the cable car to Shymkent, you are delighted with what you saw from a height and it is impossible to breathe in the mountain air!!!
There was almost no queue to buy a ticket in November. Fast lifts. Incredible views. You can pay in Russian UP.

An atmospheric place. With that in every sense. The food is 4/5, the rest is 5! I recommend it! For those who want to save money, you can take an electric taxi, but I think people come here precisely because of the cable car and go skiing, not by taxi.
Good afternoon, I managed to visit the mountains. During his two days in the city. I got there by bus- 40 minutes from the city center. Perhaps there is a shorter route. The cabins are clean, almost new. The cable car flew by instantly. The view is mesmerizing, the greenery, the clean air. There was snow only on the tops of the mountains, horseback riding, a sunny day, a lot of positive emotions. A cup of coffee with teramissu. And you can go home.
I really like the resort!
But today my friend damaged her skis, a lot of rocks and this morning, the slope was bare.
And lately there are a lot of newcomers who are lying on the slopes like mushrooms. Take action!
Huge workload due to the large flow of people. The cabins are already scuffed and the view is poor because of this. There are few toilets. There are queues everywhere
