About this experience
Join us on a journey to the 'factory of sports records' - the world's largest high-mountain complex. Admire the skating rink among the peaks, then feel like athletes yourselves on the Stairway to Health. By ascending 842 steps on foot (or by electric taxi), you will reach the observation platform and enjoy the views. You can also take radon baths at the sports base.
What to Expect
Departing from the city along the beautiful street - Dostyk Avenue (formerly Lenin), we will soon find ourselves in the Ile-Alatau National Park, surrounded by the views of the Tien-Shan Mountains.
Then our trekking part to the mountain architectural objects will begin. It's an easy route, suitable even for children.
Medeu is a high-mountain skating rink in the eponymous tract. It is located at an altitude of 1691 meters above sea level. This is where the largest number of world records in speed skating on open ice is set. You will be amazed not only by the scale of the architectural structure from the Soviet era, but also by the surrounding views.
Stairway to Health. You will have to overcome a total of 842 steps, and the reward will be the breathtaking landscapes from the observation deck. Do not worry, no one will rush you - climb at your own comfortable pace. You can also reach it on foot via the road with a smoother ascent or by special electric taxis.
Gorelnik. If desired, we will stroll along a good asphalt road towards the sports base. Here you can engage in mountain fitness and take radon baths. You can also relax in a mountain cafe.
