Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in Almaty

Next time, I would bring my own snacks and drinks. The cafes there are a bit pricey, and the options aren't the best. A little planning can save you a good chunk of money.

I recommend getting your gear checked by a pro at the rental shop. I had a minor issue with my snowboard that could've ruined my day but they fixed it up quick!

I think it’s worth trying the local food at the lodge. The prices are reasonable and it’s a nice way to recharge between runs. Just don’t expect fancy dining!

I suggest you check the weather before going, especially in winter months. It can change quickly, and a sunny day could turn into a snowstorm. Bring layers so you stay comfy all day

If you want to avoid the busy vibe, come on a weekday evening instead of Saturday; it's way more relaxed and you'll get better service.

I recommend learning a few basic billiards terms beforehand. It helped me not to feel lost when the staff were explaining the games!

I think trying their bar snacks is a must. The nachos were great, but the portions are huge, so maybe share with someone to save some cash!
