The largest ski resort in Kazakhstan, also the oldest. It was built for the training of the Kazakh ski team during the soviet times. There are 7 lifts, included one gondola starting from Médéo, 5 km lower. Ski lovers will enjoy about 20 km slopes. The resort is open all year around, but in summer, don't wait to see a lot of visitors.
