Ski Pass

Ski Pass is a subscription that gives skiers and snowboarders the right to use the lifts. The ski pass looks like a magnetic card that must be applied to the terminal when entering the lifts.

Ski equipment rental

Ski equipment rental

The pragmatism that has remained in us since Soviet times often recommends that those who love to ski or snowboard, but do it rarely, buy their own equipment and clothing at low prices.
“Well, it’s okay for 2-3 trips a year, but at least you don’t have to pay for the rental!” This can have many sad consequences.
Skis and snowboards are the most important elements of skiing. They must be flexible and not break when they hit unexpected obstacles. Also, cheap materials wear off the lubricant very quickly, which is why you will have to pump up your arm muscles quite a bit to even get going.
Having your own equipment, gear and clothes for skiing is very good, but you need to approach this issue wisely. Well, and if you really rarely go to the mountains, then it is better to rent all this. Our specialists will select for you everything you need for your pleasure.

skating instructors

Our instructors are professional, attentive, responsible and experienced mentors who will teach you how to ski confidently, even if you are a beginner!
By contacting them, you will definitely provide yourself or your child with a healthy and safe vacation!
By the way, each of our instructors has their own fan club! This is how we joke when we see reviews in stories: "Bagdat is the best instructor" or "Baurzhan is the best."
To this we immediately answer that each instructor has his own individual approach and each client will learn to ride with us! You simply have no chance not to learn.
We train even very young children. From 3 years old, only the necessary condition is that the foot must be at least size 25. Because we simply do not have a smaller size for rent.

horse riding

Get rid of stress, feel real relaxation and learn to control your own body, and most importantly, communicate with noble and intelligent animals. This opportunity is provided by horseback riding, one of those rare types of contemplative exercises, when the soul rests and opens up.
Horseback riding and communication with horses have long been known as a powerful therapeutic tool for certain types of diseases and nervous disorders. There are hippotherapy centers all over the world, where people are cured of ailments simply by horseback riding and being charged with calm, strength, self-confidence and, of course, kindness from horses!
Horses are strong and at the same time obedient animals, giving a forgotten feeling of organic unity with nature.
