The beauty is indescribable, the mountains, the air. I really liked it. We were lucky with the weather, the view was wide. I will definitely come again. We were with the family, affordable prices.
Very beautiful. You can take a walk and work out at the same time. A useful attraction. In winter, there is often not enough parking and it is better to get there without a personal car. Parking is free in summer.
I have known this place since the construction of the dam in the 70s of the last century. The picturesque scenery of the Cimbulac and Medeo and the mountain peaks will make an indelible impression for many years to come.
The most popular place in Almaty. Climbing up on an open or closed lift. The last landing (3) offers an epic view of Mount Zimbulak, also known as Shimbulak, if there is no fog. Bring warm clothes and a thermos if you plan to be there. Below are typical views of the Almaty mountains with fir trees and meadows. The same way can be done on foot who is ready. Watch the opening hours so as not to arrive late and then there is no lift up. A place for photos and picnics in good weather.
A favorite place of all Almaty residents! Recently, there have been a lot of visitors on any day of the week: the stairs of health and the observation room ...Consequences of covid)))
A great place to walk, stairs in general 🔥excellent cardio load, when climbing the stairs there is a place to relax with a beautiful view, at any time of the year this picturesque place will be perfect 👍
One of the most beautiful places in Almaty, on the way to the steps you will see squirrels (treat them with pine nuts or hazelnuts) peanuts and almond poison for them! Everyone has to climb the steps) to the observation deck it is difficult, but possible. Stunning views, gorgeous photos, colorful gorges
You can get there by bus. Beautiful views of the city, the mountains and the Medeo skating rink. Be sure to walk up the health ladder to strengthen your immune system 😉
846 steps is a challenge, you get very tired. But the view is magnificent and incomparable. There are a lot of people, taxis, cars. There are a lot of coffee stalls. Buses run regularly. The mountains are very impressive.
A great place with a great view. There is a small shop and you can sit and relax after lifting/walking, but. This place has been in need of repair for a very long time, even if it were cosmetic and could be better landscaped.
I really like the swallows on the observation deck. These swallows made of stone perfectly reflect the ethnostille. How well these swallows came up with. Thanks to the creators!
Master go to every Almaty resident and all tourists,
The load when climbing the stairs can be dosed individually, there are islands for rest between the flights of stairs, you can sit and catch your breath without blocking the way to the rest, the buzz when climbing to the top of the stairs is already indescribable, and if you find the strength and walk a little bit more to the mountain range, then there you will find there is also a font, a workout area and breakfast in a mountain cafe
High! It's decent to climb. A 400-meter staircase (at this level you will pass only 300 meters), leading to the observation deck far from the bottom of the gorge, will squeeze all the juices out of you! But it is necessary to climb it. The view is beautiful! From the observation deck, you can choose a further tourist route. There are signs on the ground directing novice tourists.
It's a beautiful view, but climbing such a steep and long staircase is a very difficult task. Not everyone will be able to do it - take into account the state of health and endurance. If you plan to climb the funicular, you can safely skip this part.
Fantastic views! 842 steps, of course, is still a test, but it was worth it! Unfortunately, they could not climb higher, the cable car was on preventive maintenance, the road was blocked due to landslides after rains.
The staircase of health offers a magnificent view of the Medeo high-altitude skating rink, the gorge itself and the city of Almaty itself. I was especially impressed by this sight at sunrise
Very beautiful views, equipped stairs and a smooth road. It's not easy to climb, but it's worth it. A must-visit.
But on some sites next to the stairs there are not enough canopies (in case of rain)
I had a dream to get to Medeu and I got there and I was captivated by these views, the air, the mountain river, it's fantastic!We walked up for 3 hours, but we never got to the end!!!But this is a gorgeous fantastic place
We came to Almaty as tourists. I liked the city. Initially we came to Medeu to take a ride on the cable car, but it turned out to be closed. Therefore, taking the will in their fist, they followed the rest of the tourists up the mountain on foot. We walked for about an hour and a half. Then we finally got to the observation deck. The place is great-I recommend it to everyone
It has to be done, you have to walk up the stairs with this thousand people and be proud that you were there and saw Medeo) But there is also an electric taxi)) You can just drive to the upper observation deck and also enjoy the beautiful view. Or you can take a funicular and visit a view restaurant at the terminal station.
The observation deck is located on the dam in Medeo. You can get there either on foot by stair stamps, or by minibus. The observation deck offers a beautiful view of the mountains, the Medeo high-altitude skating rink.
My friend called the staircase to this landing the "ladder of health". For me, as an unprepared person, climbing this ladder has become a serious challenge. However, the surrounding beauty overshadows all the problems associated with the load. And in general, at the top of Lenintsy, you feel a special pleasure from climbing. In general, I definitely recommend it!
The most gorgeous place, you definitely need to visit. But get ready for the fact that you need to either go up the road in a detour, or overcome 842 steps up and then down, but there are a lot of sites with benches for recreation. So, if you like hiking, you will have a lot of fun.
The stairs are murderers, the material and their shape leaves much to be desired, and at the end of the road 7,000 per person, the price is certainly too high for the climb!
From the cable car station, you will have to overcome about 300 meters of vertical climb. The cardiovascular system and joints will thank you.
And the view from the observation deck will be a very pleasant bonus!
If you have not been doing sports for weeks, then you are here, I went up once, enough for a week. Clean air, barely breathe, legs do not obey. I recommend it!
