Medeo Medeo is the largest high-altitude complex in the world for winter sports. At an altitude of 1700 meters above sea level is a unique facility — an ice rink, where athletes also train. It is also one of the favorite places for relaxation for both locals and visitors to the southern capital.
-
Shymbulak is a popular ski resort in Kazakhstan, near Almaty, located on the Zailiysky Alatau Ridge slightly above the high-altitude rink "Medeo." The Shymbulak tract is situated within the Ile-Alatau National Park at an altitude of 2200-2500 meters.
-
Kok-Tobe is a hilly area at an altitude of 1070 meters, covered with sagebrush-meadow grasses and shrubs. It is located in the foothills of the Zailiysky Alatau Ridge in the southeast of Almaty.
-
Green Bazaar is one of the oldest markets in Almaty. Located in the central part of the city, in the Medeu District. The trading rows at the site of the Green Bazaar have existed since 1868.
-
The Bogdanovich Glacier is a vast expanse of compressed ice situated in a mountainous terrain. It is striking with its immense, breathtaking views. The glaciers are located high in the mountains, but Almaty residents and visitors have the opportunity to ease their way to the closest one—the Bogdanovich Glacier. It is located beyond the Big Talgar Pass, higher than the famous ski resort of Shymbulak. Named in 1911 by the glaciologist Dmitriev in honor of the geologist Professor K.I. Bogdanovich. Most of the route is covered by a funicular from the Medeo Ski Resort, then from Shymbulak up to an altitude of 3200 meters.
