You need to be fit and have an experience of long trekkings in the mountains. We are supposed to walk uphill for at least 5 hours during this program. And then be able to go all the way down.

Where?
The Small Almaty Gorge, located just outside Almaty city, is a treasure trove of alpine routes. These range from beginner-friendly paths with gentle walks and short scrambling sections to demanding climbs with extended rocky or icy terrain.
Whether you’re looking for a relaxed introduction to alpine climbing or a more thrilling challenge, we’ll guide you to the perfect route.
When?
The alpine climbing season in Almaty is open year-round, except in April and October when heavy snowfalls make conditions very challenging or even unsafe.
If it’s your first time, summer is the best season for an alpine adventure. The warm weather makes the journey more comfortable, requiring less technical gear and fewer layers of clothing.
For experienced climbers equipped with insulated mountaineering boots and a cozy down jacket, winter provides an exciting and rewarding alpine experience.
Program Overview
Day 1: Approach and Acclimatization

Once we arrive at camp, we’ll take a short hike to higher ground to help you acclimatize and prepare for the next day’s climb.
Day 2: Climbing Day
We’ll start early in the morning (around 4:00–5:00 am, depending on the season and our objective). From there, we’ll embark on an unforgettable alpine climb to one of the summits in the Small Almaty Gorge.
