Day Hike Near Medeo ⛰️🍃

#hellohalloween Just above Almaty’s iconic Medeo ice rink, you’ll find one of the best day hikes in Kazakhstan — perfect for anyone who wants fresh mountain air without an overnight trek. 🥾 Popular Hiking Route: Medeo ➝ Shymbulak via the "1234 Steps" Start at Medeo (easy to reach by bus or taxi from Almaty). Climb the long staircase viewpoint overlooking the ice rink. Continue along the trail through pine forests and rocky hills. Reach Shymbulak Ski Resort after 2–3 hours depending on pace.
