Chimbulak ski resort is located 45 min away by bus from Almaty city center. There is Medeu ice rink (the size of a football field) super busy on the weekends. Then you can take the cable cars (8$ roundtrip) to reach Chymbulak where you the ski resort starts. If you don't ski, it's worth it anyway for the view and there are many cafes and restaurants to chill out. #photography #ski #nature #mountains #cablecar #icerink #view #almaty #kazakhstan
