In fact, there is one track, long, diverse and high-quality, but one. A lot of people on the mountain absolutely do not know how to ride, you have to be careful
This is a modern place of worship in Kazakhstan. When it is hot and sultry in the city, there is fresh air and coolness in the Cimbulac. In winter, every winter sports fan wants to ride on its slopes.
I really like everything!
But, there are a few comments.
1. I would like people to sit less in the middle of the slope, it is very traumatic.
2. Still, it is necessary to sort the skaters by the level of skating.
An incredible place. It can be said that it is unique. The highest mountain skating rink and a great place for lovers of downhill skiing. A very long cable car on the Shimbklak.
It is worth getting to medeu if you are in Almaty. Beautiful views, there are cafes, there are parking lots, queues at the ticket offices are not very large, 5-7 minutes on average and you are the ticket holder, the booths are quite decent, if you go in the middle of the week, then there are not very many people. The prices are not cheap, but it's worth it.
A great place for skiing. The long season is from November to April. There are few people on the lifts. Of the disadvantages, there are stones on the track.
The super large territory of the mountain, it's a pity that the glass of the vogons is not washed, but in general everything is fine. But some cafes on the territory are not very justified by the price. You expect and clarify, they tell you yes, the portion is large and coffee and salads, etc. but in fact it is not.
Gorgeous views, reasonable prices. Convenient payment everywhere using the QR code of Caspi and other services, no need to queue at the checkout. After skating at the Medeu skating rink, we decided to climb the pass by cable car. It is a pity that without equipment it is possible to ride only in a closed cabin. Although it gets colder in the evening and, of course, it is more comfortable in it. The only thing that upsets is the wild queues for funiculars, even on weekdays, you have to stand for an hour. It's good that there are cozy cafes where you can keep warm and wait out the hype.
A beautiful, very beautiful natural place surrounded by snow-white mighty mountain peaks
A wonderful ice rink and a wonderful ski run. The resort is on the level. Delicious and cozy cafes. There is a rental service. I recommend.
It is very beautiful and breathes great in the mountains. The only thing is that because of the rain, we could not climb to the top. Queues are decent even on a weekday, especially after lunch. The rise in rubles costs a little more than 1K. I recommend you to visit, you will not regret it.
A magnificent resort!!!! The views are super!!!! The slides are super!!!! But on January 1st and 2nd, there were too many visitors. Queues and ice on the slopes. You won't get much of a ride
High and dangerous! Magnificent mulled wine will brighten up your stay here. Waiting for the opening of the ski season makes this place a real start center for many owners of ski and skis.
Certainly the pearl of Almaty. I highly recommend you to visit. It is advisable to take time and sit on the upper points. Beauty, clean air, silence. Taking a bottle of wine and light food with you, "feed" your eyes and feel the nature.
Well, by right the best ski resort around Almaty and therefore overly popular, which makes it a hell of a place. It is extremely difficult to enjoy a wheelchair with children (although the children are at a good level of skating).
I'll come alone and not on a day off, I won't set foot with the children anymore.
The main and most important disadvantage is that the lower you get to the first station, the more stones there are on the track. Neither snowfall nor squandering help.
By the end of the ride, the slipper looks like a poodle's hair. Off-piste skiing is dangerous, for the same reasons.
Among the advantages, the relative cheapness and a small number of people on the lifts
Everything is 10/10 here, extreme, restaurants, nature, recreation, everything is positive, and in winter and summer you can visit Chimba) I advise everyone, especially the lowest prices in the world, full equipment costs around 5 thousand tenge, it's $ 12
Nicely. It's worth stopping by even if there are no plans to roll down the slope. It is better to arrive in the morning in order to have time to climb to the highest point and take a walk.
We haven't been to the resort itself, we climbed to the top (take a ticket where combo 2 is included). The views from the top are super and on the way up too! Be sure to visit just to look at the beautiful mountains!
Gondola and chair lifts, wide trails, a variety of them for every taste from beginners to freeriders, excellent rental service and restaurants, and most importantly - the mountains are simply amazing
It's very beautiful, I don't argue, the air is great, but starting with the combi-1 there is an absolute lack of employees. As a result, there was a fight over the booths in the rain and a small child and I stood in line twice and could barely get into the booth. The child is stressed after seeing how the men beat the father, who just brought the child into the booth in turn. The employee was there, saw it, but left and let the fight break out. Men sat down without waiting in line, children and women got wet and waited for all the men to pass.
The amazing feeling of riding a cable car to the top is everywhere there are covered cabins, it is very comfortable even in urban clothes. There are comfortable and clean toilets everywhere
A cool place, a must-visit for any tourist. It is picturesque, pleasant, there is a place to drink, eat, and warm up. It is very difficult to take a taxi in the evening, you need to cooperate with fellow travelers. You can't take the bus.

The legendary Shymkent is wonderful! We were in the summer, unfortunately, low clouds did not allow us to see all the beauty. Och. I want to come here for the ski season
a good ski resort. For beginners there are trails where you can safely learn, for skiers with a good level of skiing there are red wide trails. The quality of the preparation of trails 👍
We rode the cable car. The cost cost 16 thousand tenge for 3 adults. There was a child 3 years old for free. Weekday. There weren't very many people. Some got into the trailers without waiting in line. We reached the top. It's much colder there. The mountains are magnificent!!! Beautiful day!
The ski trails are good, my son rides with pleasure! There are many cafes and restaurants to warm up and just eat with a beautiful view of the mountains! The queues at Cimbulac are large on holidays and weekends.
I skated there in January and was ONLY at evening classes. So evening skiing takes place every Tue, Thu, Sat from 19 to 23. The price is 10,500 tenge with a skipass, 8,500 tenge if you already have a skipass. As the locals said on Tuesday, students have discounts, so there are relatively more people on Tuesday than on Thursday. I didn't ride on Saturday, but we can assume that the locals also said that there were a lot of people on the weekend. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, one track was available in the evening, which you can either drive all at once by climbing to the very top or drive half of it by going out in the middle. The track is NOT for beginners, but there are a lot of them there since only one track was available in the evening. For beginners, there are all conditions to get to the very top, since on one cable of the lift there are 8-seater cabins and 4-seater open seats (benches) without protective caps (to protect against wind and snow). The number of cabins is less. I used to rent equipment in the city, took only a board price of 2000 tenge, but I am not very satisfied with the quality. There is also a rental of equipment on the Shymkent itself and different price categories are indicated on the website depending on its condition.

It's worth flying to Kazakhstan for this place!
You arrive at Almaty airport, from there you can take a taxi to Cimbulak in about 2 hours. It's good to relax here all year round! In winter and spring, skiing, sitting in restaurants and cafes
In summer, go up on cable cars to the peaks, go down on foot. Walking in the mountains.
You can stay in hotels built in the style of Alpine chalets. Only electric cars drive here, so as not to disrupt the ecology of the place. The mountains here are very similar to the Alps in proportions and landscaping.
A very popular place. Such beautiful views are opening up! It's just fantastic! But it's scary! I'm too afraid of heights! Therefore, fear was mixed with delight.
The most beautiful place. There are cozy cafes and the opportunity to admire the views on any of the climbing levels. For those who do not ride, it is not boring and interesting to just relax and enjoy the views and air of the mountains.
We went to the top without skis, just to see the views.
On a weekday in January 2023, there are quite a lot of people after lunch, the queue for the lifts is 10 minutes.
There are real-time video cameras on the Shymkent website, I recommend watching the weather on the spot in advance. Fog is possible instead of gorgeous views of the mountains and the city.
The upper station is located at an altitude of 3,200 meters, from there there is a magnificent view of the Bogdanovich glacier, it is very close.
I recommend walking from the upper station to Mount Chembulachka, it will take 1.5 hours in one direction with a climb of 300 meters.
I recommend it for guests of the city in clear weather.
Medeo is very beautiful, there are many changes from last year, the lifts are clean, cafes with good valuables, the queue is small, there is a lot of snow, nature is the most beautiful
