Alpine skiing
Shymbulak alpine area
The main ski area stacks a base learning zone under steeper upper-mountain runs and lift-linked ridge terrain.
Access: Most visitors come up from Almaty via Medeu, then continue on the gondola to the base station.
Terrain: The mapped network shows novice and easy practice slopes at the base, with mostly intermediate terrain on the central and upper sectors. This pass did not confirm a dedicated Nordic network at the resort itself.
- Base station around 2,260 metres
- Lift-linked upper mountain sectors
- Direct gondola connection from Medeu
