Ride three cable cars to reach an altitude of 3,200 meters.

The Shymbulak Ski Resort is about 30-40 minutes away from Almaty city center. To reach the summit, you need to purchase tickets for the gondola, Combi 1, and Combi 2. You can call a Yandex taxi to get there or take bus number 12. As you ride the cable car, you can also see the Medeu Ice Skating Rink. While Almaty city enjoys spring weather (as of early April), Shymbulak offers a taste of winter, making it a stunning experience. There are restaurants along the way, so you can enjoy a meal or a cup of tea while admiring the eternal snow.
