Description

TOURIST PLACES you'll visit

The key feature of Almaty is that the city is located near high mountains reaching 5000m above sea level. This location makes it possible to enjoy the beauty of the mountains without leaving the city. Thanks to this, in this tour you will have the opportunity to visit one of the landmarks of Almaty - Shymbulak High-Mountain Ski Resort, ride on a Cable Car, and enjoy the panorama of mountain peaks. You will go up close to the clouds to Shymbulak Mountain Ski Resort, located in the picturesque gorge of Trans-Ili Alatau at an altitude of 2260 m above sea level. Further, the cable car will take you upper to Talgar pass (3200 m above the sea level), where a magnificent scenery of Trans-Ili Alatau mountain peaks opens.
