We have been visiting this ski resort for many years. For beginner skiers, it is a better resort than Lesnaya Skazka and Shymkent. There is a "black track" for professionals. We love Akbulak very much. Rating 4, because the management of the resort does not do anything for development:
1. For 5-7 years they can't mend the driveway, it's full of holes;
2. Online payment for the ski pass is not organized, there are long queues at the ticket office on weekends;
3. There are no normal cafes where you can eat, just have a snack with sandwiches (by the way, they are very tasty);
4. The hotel itself is of a scoop type, it needs renovation;
5. The steam seats and gondolas leave much to be desired, updates are needed.
As a result, I wish Akbulak prosperity and development.
Cool!!!! Nature is gorgeous.
Going up to the top takes your breath away from the grandeur of the mountains. My small Homeland! It's bad that the relationship is deteriorating between us....as a whole, between countries.
A good ski trip for beginners, but the problem is with transport accessibility, it's okay to get there only by taxi or car, the owners should think about transfers.
I love their tracks. Children ride with pleasure.
Of the minuses, the cafes on the mountain leave much to be desired. We eat exclusively in the restaurant.
Class. We have to come on Saturday. There are fewer people. For beginners on skis, that's the thing. Snowboarding is not so interesting. Unless it's a black highway.
There was one day on Oi-Karagai, it may be interesting for beginners, I did not go at all, the lift is very slow, the descents are short, there was very little snow in January. Also, the skipass is more expensive by 2000 tenge than on Cimbulak, it is also not close to get there, in short there is nothing to catch there, only a beautiful descent into a forest fairy tale through a spruce forest
On 12/29.23, the instructors and the security service closed the upper ski lift for skiers and used it exclusively for their own skiing on a free track, on freshly fallen snow.
In my opinion, this is lawlessness and arbitrariness. I hope the management will investigate this and take action.
I say "thank you" to the security service - I will not come to you again. I will spend my money at other ski resorts.
My paradise! Favorite recreation area. It's expensive, but where can we find cheap vacation spots! But there is such beauty here and it is delicious and satisfying to feed!!!
A great place for a family vacation. The service and the mountains are like in Chima. But it's really further away, which means there are fewer people. In general, it is necessary to familiarize yourself!!!
Ak Bulak is located near the city, but the road takes an hour and a half, due to the fact that there is a very heavy traffic flow in the direction of Talgar. But it's worth going there. Unlike Cimbulac, there is no crowd, there are not many people, the air is much cleaner than on Cimbulac. It's a pleasure to ride.
Who hasn't been yet is worth a visit!
I rode cheesecakes - fly away! I rented it with a plastic bottom. Don't take your own ones with a polyethylene bottom out of the house - they won't let you in. Only plastic!
And so the guys are skiing and snowboarding!
Mountains, snow and sun - a great mood is provided!
The place is great!
But it is necessary to systematize the processes, starting with the work of the staff, ending with the quality and taste of food in the restaurant.
Friends, why is there no dividing line at the entrance in the indoor lift below? It is impossible not to go into the booth and get out of it. It is necessary to put a delimiter so that people first calmly leave, and then others calmly enter. A controller is also needed. Due to the lack of order, there is a queue, and 5-6 people rise in the booths instead of 8.
The resort itself is good.
But it has been in need of cosmetic repairs for at least a couple of years.
The booths are dirty, the turnstiles are living out their days, the benches feel like they've been standing since the Soviet Union.
The price tag relative to other resorts is not much different.
This is a fabulous place. After a snowfall on the black or under the net in the far couloirs - just a bomb! There's no way to do it at the bottom. If you go, then only to the top.
This is one of the most beautiful places in our city. Clean air in the territory has everything you need for a family vacation. It's a little expensive, but it's worth it.
A neglected view of the territory. The cable lifts have not been working for a long time. Extremely low service and neglected appearance. I do NOT RECOMMEND it as a tourist place to visit.
The route is peculiar. The long climb in the middle is a little annoying, but in general I like everything. Of the disadvantages, there are clearly not enough parking spaces.
There is a paid toilet at the lower station. At the intermediate station, there is not very obvious warning about the complexity of the track called "country", which is not cleaned and has a very steep slope - you can accidentally leave without having proper experience. Otherwise, in principle, everything is OK
The routes are normal. In terms of cafes and recreation areas, everything is old. But the worst thing is the toilets! Those who are going to go first. Go to the toilet in advance))
Everything is old and worn out. Apparently they don't invest any money at all. We arrived in October, the lift did not work. Boring. And there is no kitchen. Do something already! You have such an amazing location!
A good resort, comfortable cable cars, thoughtful trails, a good and safe children's tubing track. The compartment with a great location makes this place wonderful and pleasant to visit. The tracks are monitored, there are instructors.
