At Medeo, guests were able to appreciate the scale of the legendary high-altitude skating rink, soak up the spirit of sporting achievements and admire panoramic views of snow-covered mountain peaks. The ascent to Shymbulak gave participants breathtaking landscapes from a bird's eye view. Many took the opportunity to ride the cable car, admiring the outlines of the mountain ranges.
