The slope service is good: grooming, safety, lifts condition, instructors. Parking and food needs some upgrade.

We spent an unforgettable time at the recreation center "Ak Bulak". The magnificent view, the chic air and the pleasant atmosphere made our family vacation truly magical. This is an ideal place for those who want to enjoy peace and quiet with their family. We recommend it to all families who are looking for a place for a secluded and relaxing holiday.

A gorgeous ski resort with a beautiful view, the only drawback is the chairlifts to the highest point, you can freeze while you get there (a little whiskey and Cola help keep warm, so everyone should take note), but it's worth it, it's worth visiting this place at least once. If you are going to ride from the end point, it is worth thinking a few times, it takes skill and dexterity to roll down from there

The ski resort is an hour's drive from Almaty, unlike chibulak, reasonable prices, fewer people, not such difficult trails.It is better to visit on a weekday, when there are fewer people. There are rentals, instructors.A little shabby atmosphere, cafes, eateries. If you do not need Courchevel and the high cost is quite suitable for skiers and snowboarders. It's hard to park on weekends. Very careful with alcohol, the road back through the ranks of hungry gaiters, where they turn the fur inside out, even if they did not drink.

I love this resort, it is advisable to make a children's zone in the cafe in the main building, the place there allows, for a fee, to make sofas, slides and a pool with balls. Thus, attract more tourists with children. And also a paid storage room and changing rooms and normal toilets

A good place for beginner skiers and snowboarders. Wide and gentle slopes. There is a rental service, an instructor scale, and a lot of children. A wheelchair and a chairlift. Skiing on cheesecakes Is where to have a snack and drink tea. Honey. Point. In general, I normally visit regularly. I don't like the fact that parking lots are always littered with snow, so some park outside in the field, there is no lighting in indoor parking lots, you will break your legs while walking through the labyrinths. Not a convenient schedule, the time to choose from is either 4 hours or a full day. 4 hours is a lot, it turns out that all the paid time is not rolled out. If you change your mind about riding, there is no refund of the ticket. Entry is paid. But all these disadvantages are nothing compared to the received emotions and good mood.

The hotel and the trails are just great. I went to corporate, I was there for a week. There is only one track there, but it is very diverse. Nature is also very rich and beautiful, especially from above. In addition, there is a swimming pool and a dining room. The rooms are just perfectly clean and red with a balcony overlooking the mountains.

a great place to learn alpine skiing, a large selection of trails for almost any level. Good instructors are 15 thousand per hour, the equipment is fully about 15 thousand plus the lift fee (free of charge for children under 6-7 years old). A high-quality inexpensive restaurant and a cool swimming pool/sauna (5000 per adult) in a nearby hotel.

1. A great place for beginners.
2. A very difficult slope for the pros from above.
3. The quality of parking is surprising and frustrating, the inconvenience of entering the Lower floor, not convenient stairs.
4. There is no delicious and reasonable restaurant on the slope. Dining room, snack places or a restaurant with snow-white tablecloths inside the hotel. There is no place for a delicious lunch at a reasonable price (

I liked the beauty of the scenery, good preparation of the trails. It's a little more expensive than Shymkent, but it's worth it. There are fewer people than the last resort. There should be more cafes, otherwise they cook for quite a long time during rush hour.

A cool winter ski vacation. Cool trails, beautiful views. A cozy hotel. The truth is, of course, a lot needs attention. But it doesn't spoil any impression. The very nature that will surround you, clean mountain air. It's worth a lot.

The slopes are good. The views are beautiful. There are a lot of people on the lift. There are no overnight ski storage rooms, which is very inconvenient! Every day you have to go up and down with them to the very bottom.

A very nice place! I enjoyed skiing down the mountains. Especially on the armchairs.
I suggest you come here! There is also a hotel with a swimming pool.
It's cool and healthy!

I can't appreciate the winter season, but in the summer, in my opinion, it is much more beautiful than the Cimbulac, both on the way and on the spot. And the price tag is very democratic. We were delighted

Очень красиво в горах, свежий воздух, прекрасные виды. Но отдельный вопрос по обслуживанию... За что платить при въезде на парковку, пока приедешь этот участок от шлагбаума до место парковки это ужас, вы хотя бы асфальт залатайте, там ехать от силы 300 метров но вся дорога разбита, вы за что берете деньги? Втрое: почему то пенсионерам бесплатно только в будние дни, а в выходные, что? Сидите дома? Это кто придумал? Где это в каком законе написано поясните пожалуйста. На парковках мусор, я понимаю, что чисто там где не стоят, но если вы берете деньги, то хотя бы мусор вывозите... Очень печально, что у вас отсутствует хозяйственная жилка, а приезжает очень много иностранцев, стыдно даже. Такое красивое место, привратили в личный бизнес, просто напросто..... на котором, только наживаг, а вкладывать не хотят. Подъемники грязные, всё потрёпанное, можно же хотя бы отреставрировать... Если закрыть на не стоищие цены, рекомендую однозначно, там очень красиво. Подъем стоит по 1500 на каждый подъемник, но они ещё берут 300 с чем-то непонятно за что.

Ak bulak is just beckoning to ski and balloon rides. A great place for sports and outdoor activities with your family. There is a ski rental and equipment. Shop if anyone wants to buy personal gear. Cafes at affordable prices. You can hire an instructor.

A great freeride resort at the top of the trails. But we were forbidden to ride there, and it is impossible to drive on the tracks there. But the tracks from the middle of the height are quite cool and well maintained. I advise those who live nearby to go for it from afar is not worth it. And so do I.

You will have to change your positive feedback.
1. Crazy prices at catering outlets. 2. They stopped wasting the slope below, one strip of snowmobile and that's it.
3. In March, for the second year, the hill number 5 in the forest is closed, allegedly because of avalanches. As a result, the fan park is unavailable. Nirazu didn't even see any signs of an avalanche there.
4. The black track is inaccessible for skiing in 90% of cases. Either there is ice or there is a lot of snow and they don't open it.
5. There are huge puddles and mud in the parking lot.
Old review:
A great place for beginners and advanced skiers and boarders. There is an opportunity to drive calmly and fanatically in the valley, as well as to get rid of adrenaline on the black slope. A lot of snow and small queues in the morning!

Quite often we come here to ski, as the hill is flat. Good slides with natural snow cover, reasonable prices, good instructors of the Mountain Style school, especially Maria.

Like, on weekdays in the morning, out of 16 lifts, I only shared a lift cabin with someone a couple of times. Pretty - you ride almost alone, there is no one. There are no beginners and tourists - they are all on another ski slope

Skis, boots, etc. are pretty shabby.. it is better to rent somewhere in the city.
A great place for beginners is a wide track.. It 's not as cool as in Shymkent ..
The presence of a black track is for the confident .. it is especially good after good precipitation in the form of snow

A great resort.
In comparison with Zimbulak and Oi-Karagai, it takes the fact that there are all kinds of variations of descent among the trees (outside the main route). There is also a separate ski lift in the same forest.
For fans of this kind, my recommendation ;)

A favorite place almost all year round. In winter, skiing. In summer, there are radial hikes with panoramic views of Lake Issyk and the surroundings of the rocky peaks.

I'll start with the cons:
1. we were unlucky, one lift did not work on the weekend.queues are huge for one😖7,000 tenge was paid for 4 hours of skiing for one, of which at least 1.5 hours were spent standing in line
2. Terrible parking,inconvenient and dangerous.
3. Guys, you made a toilet for 150 tenge and at the same time they are in the most terrible condition, I have not seen this even in the most seedy quarters. And the most "cherry" is the cashier, who unwinds your toilet paper with her own hands.It's unhygienic!! For the toilet minus 10 points
4. There are no normal cafes, just stalls with tea and food. You won't be able to keep warm much. For two teas, samsa and a terrible croissant with condensed milk, they gave 5500 tenge.
On the plus side: I liked that it is possible for beginners to ride here, and continuing, and pros. There is a separate lift to the black track, it is very tough there, but we did not ride there, I just recommend going up and taking a look, it is very beautiful there.
Still, it is cheaper here than in Shimbulak, but a little "collective farm". It took almost 2 hours to get back to the city.

Excellent mountains, a good wheelchair, at different levels. When puffy, the black track is great. I would like to add another service, a normal changing area, lockers are enough and a great alternative to other resorts.

Not a bad slope. It is especially suitable for beginners. An ice rink with the possibility to rent skates. Not a bad road. Of the disadvantages, it is a little far in time (compared to Medeu)

Nice trails, few people, cool Bush thing in the woods) BUT the infrastructure is tough. A paid toilet, everything is worn out (The coaching staff stands at the entrance from the travelator at the school and sells their services like guides who are on tourist spots. It's a shame that the potential of the place is so underutilized (and that the coaching staff is forced to stand at the entrance and squeeze out students for themselves (

Наш любимый Ак-булак. Очень вкусная кухня. Нравится большой бассейн с сауной. Ресепшн очень вежливые и отзывчивые. Гаухар , если вы прочтёте это , вы супер 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Катание супер . Только единственное на кассах сидят какие то злые женщины, как будто их там на сильно заставляют работать, языки по метру висят и нормально ответить не могут. А в остальном тренера, Аренда экипировки все ок .

Oh, those were not transferable sensations! We got here in the snow. But that didn't stop us, and we decided to take a ride on the cable car anyway. It was breathtaking!
