Medeо. Must visit place in Almaty. In winter it is interesting to come to Medeo late evening time. At 9-12 p.m. No traffic in city, few people on Medeo and real winter fairytale in the mountains. Yesterday, on January 5th I visited it by 1 a.m. It was raining in the city (last photo) but snowing in the mountains and it was amazing. Staircase to the dam was fully lit and covered with fresh snow. I was the first one to stand on it that day. Please note, staircase is almost 1000 steps. From parking lot it is about 1 kilometer walking uphill. Hiking shoes with good grip needed. It can be slippery. There are some very interesting not widely known places around Medeo where you will be almost alone. I can show you these locations. Go with me to Medeo/Shymbulak tour.

Absolutely gorgeous ice skating rink that you should stay away from at peak hours/days. Otherwise you gonna end up waiting forever in a queue with no WC available in vicinity. You can't get inside without purchasing a ticket at two tiny kiosks that are positioned across from each other and result in absolute mess of a crowd. This great place definitely lacks proper management and tourist infrastructure like a proper freaking parking lot. People just park in front of the main entrance by the side of the road resulting in total chaos of pedestrians trying to get in, cars trying to park or move out and other vehicles trying to pass through.

Всех с добрым временем суток! Разрешите поздравить всех с наступающим Новым 2021 годом! Пожелать крепкого здоровья, семейного благополучия, достатка, любви и уважения родных и близких! Будем держаться не смотря ни на что!!! Высокогорный комплекс Медео всегда был, остаётся и будет жемчужиной в ожерелье из красивых и суровых гор! Это один из самых лучших символов Алматы который не перестает греть душу истинных горожан и радовать гостей нашего любимого города! Хотелось бы чтобы администрация города и руководство республики уделили этому историческому сооружению должное внимание! Всем мира, счастья и добра! Всем доброго времени суток) Сегодня 15 ноября 2023 года, открытие нового сезона!) Мы посетили спорт комплекс вечером с 19.00 - 23.00. Не могу воздержаться от ряда замечаний ибо Медео - гордость Алматы и Казахстана в целом и превращать его в ещё одно отхожее место очень печально!( Из-за того, что центральная часть катка закрыта для катания по периметру было какое-то столпотворение, более того из-за отсутствия какой-либо организации движение было настолько хаотичным, что приводило к множественным столкновениям. Правила поведения на катке по громкой связи не объявляли. Любителей скоростной езды и экстремалов работники катка не останавливали, замечаний не делали!!! Лёд не чищен, много неровностей, возможно в силу погодных условий он стал более рыхлым и быстро крошился... В целом впечатление от посещения катка не очень( Прошу учесть указанные замечания, пожалуйста не роняйте марку нашего любимого ,,Медео"! Берегите себя и свое время!

This ice ring has incredible atmosphere for so many years already, shares so many stories from generation to generation. These kind of places needs to be cherished and protected. My mom couldn’t skate at all, you can rent a special equipment to help you get moving. It is amazing, she was skating two hours later on her own and was so happy. The air, people skating around have so much happiness and joy in their moves and actions. This is a happy place which gives you energy and motivation.

I know Medeu from my childhood. This place was rennovated and now its a beatiful skating (winter) / roller skating (summer) huge stadium. However its not only limited to the stadium. Its a beautiful place in the mountain. Its located few hundred meters to the highest damb in the region. Its a start of multiple hiking / trekking routes across Almaty mountains. Its few hundred meters above the lift to the mountains (Shimbulak). Its historical place, must see if you visit Almaty.

Beautiful landscapes. A perfect place to relax and enjoy the freshness of the wind blowing from the mountains, connect with the nature and have a small break from the city heat. A perfect place for hiking, Ice-skating. There is also Shymbullak resort for those who enjoys skiing or snowboarding. It will take around 30- 40 minutes to get there with the bus from the city which will cost less than 1 $ (1€). The taxi and car-sharing services are also possible.
