Medeu Skating Rink and Ski resort
As you ascend to Shymbulak by cable car, you’ll glide above one of Almaty’s most iconic landmarks — the Medeu Ice Rink. Nestled high in the mountains at 1,691 meters above sea level, Medeu is famous as the world’s highest outdoor speed skating rink. From your cabin, enjoy a stunning panoramic view of its vast frozen surface surrounded by pine-covered slopes and mountain streams. Your guide will share fascinating stories about its history — from Soviet-era competitions to modern-day winter festivals. Although we don’t stop at the rink, you’ll have the perfect opportunity to photograph this legendary site from above and appreciate the unique landscape that connects Medeu with the Shymbulak ski resort.
