For example, wherever you go, there are places of rest where you can enjoy a cup of tea or wonderful views of nature.

If you are planning to climb the mountains, then don’t worry about getting lost there, since there are such direction signs installed everywhere.

You need to go to the Small Almaty Gorge first to become closer to the mountains of Almaty.

In winter the mountains are available for skiing, snowboarding and sleigh lovers.

In the summer, when there are no ticks and snow, thousands of trekking lovers climb up the mountains.

“What do you put on so as not to freeze in the mountains?” “The main thing is waterproof pants.

” “I chose super-dry.

” “A beginner snowboarder needs pants in the first place, and probably boots.

You can rent the rest and see whether it fits well” “How often and how long have you benn skiing here?” “I ride once a week, and started skiing in the 1980's ” “So, you have been skiing for 40 years, right?” “Yes, already 40” “And how old are you?” “I’m over 70” “Oh my God, do you believe that? That's why we need to do sports! Ok, I will start skiing immediately!” “The most important thing is not to be afraid to start and learn how to fall correctly.
