Shymbulak

🇰🇿 Almaty Region · Kazakhstan — Altitude 2260 m

Local time UTC+5Checked 9,591 viewsHDMountains

This live stream looks over Shymbulak, a ski and mountain resort on the slopes of the Trans-Ili Alatau above Almaty in Kazakhstan. It is useful for judging snow cover, cloud and visibility on the mountain before deciding whether to travel up.

About the mountain setting

Shymbulak sits at roughly 2,260 metres in the Trans-Ili Alatau, the northern range of the Tian Shan, within easy reach of Kazakhstan's largest city. It is best known as the country's main winter sports area, with alpine terrain, and the surrounding peaks rise sharply above the forested valleys. The air is thinner and temperatures can fall quickly compared with the city below, so conditions at the top often differ noticeably from those in Almaty.

What to watch on the stream

The camera is a live video stream, so you can follow changes in snow, cloud and fog as they move across the slopes during the day. Winter mornings are often clearest, while afternoon cloud can build over the ridges in warmer months. Because the view depends on the weather and the angle of the light, it is worth checking again later if the first look is hazy.

Planning a visit

Winters are cold and snowy, which suits skiing, while summers are warm and drier, favouring hiking and cable car rides. Shymbulak is reached by road from Almaty, and conditions on the access road can change with the weather. Nearby cameras at Beskaynar and in Almaty let you compare the mountain with the lowlands before setting out.
