Surrounded by the snow-capped Tian Shan mountains, Almaty is one of Central Asia's most captivating winter escapes. At Shymbulak Ski Resort, world-class slopes meet breathtaking alpine scenery, offering an unforgettable way to experience the beauty of winter in Central Asia.

Big Almaty Lake sits tucked in the Tian Shan range, its water so clear it looks like liquid gemstone. Snow peaks on all sides, colours shifting with the light and seasons. It's the kind of place that makes the rest of the world feel very far away.

The Ascension Cathedral is one of Almaty's most iconic landmarks. Renowned for its exquisite wooden architecture and colourful onion domes, the cathedral showcases the distinctive beauty of Russian Orthodox design. Stroll through the cathedral grounds and neighbouring Panfilov Park to discover a captivating blend of history, culture and architectural splendour.

Almaty Metro is more than a way to get around. Step inside and you’ll find stations lined with murals, sculptures and ornate details, each one reflecting Kazakhstan’s culture and history. It feels less like a commute, and more like wandering through a museum beneath the city.
