I went to Almaty this summer. The plane had to fly over the Tianshan Mountains. In fact, the Tianshan Mountains have been extending throughout Kazakhstan. When traveling in Almaty, Qiongbulak is a magnificent attraction that must be visited! Otherwise, it is a waste of time! Qiongbulak area is extremely magnificent! You can experience four seasons in one day, and the weather is different every ten miles! You can always encounter the strange phenomenon of sunrise in the east and rain in the west... You can take the aerial cable car directly to the foot of the glacier at an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters.
Qiongbulak Ski Resort is definitely an ideal ski resort with good climatic conditions, an average temperature of 20℃ in summer and 7℃ in winter, a snow depth of up to 150 cm, and more than 300 days of sunny days a year. It provides a variety of services and facilities, including cable car services, hotel accommodation and many restaurants and cafes.
In summer, you can also take a cable car tour, hike, and challenge paragliding, etc. Therefore, to explore the natural wonders of Almaty, Kazakhstan, Qiongbulak Snow Mountain Cable Car is definitely an adventure you cannot miss!
The highest peak in Kazakhstan, Qiongbulak, is 3,500 meters above sea level. Due to the climate, Qiongbulak is covered with snow, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow, which is simply a pure and clean world. It was once the venue for the 2011 Asian Winter Olympics. It is a famous ski resort. If you are tired, you can do whatever you want and enjoy the delicious food here!
