Medeu from Almaty Airport (ALA) by private transfer: €50 per car (1–3 people) or €70 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 30 km, roughly 45 min when traffic is light and 45–55 min when it is not.
Meeting point: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight lands at, holding a sign with your name: after international flights in the main arrivals hall on the first floor of the International Terminal (T2), past the customs exit; after domestic flights in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.
The Medeu high-mountain skating rink sits in the Small Almaty gorge south-east of the city, about 30 km from the airport. The route crosses Almaty to Dostyk Avenue, follows it south past the last residential districts and then climbs along the river on the mountain road, Kerey-Zhanibek Khandar street, gaining several hundred metres of height in a series of curves. The rink lies at about 1,690 m, so in winter the upper part of the road can be snowy and slower than the city section.
Medeu is an open-air speed-skating stadium built in a forested valley, with a large car park and the lower station of the cable car below the stands. Above the rink rises the Medeu dam, built to protect the city from mudflows; long flights of steps lead to its crest and a viewpoint. The gondola from Medeu climbs to the Shymbulak ski resort, which is the usual way to reach the slopes, because the road above Medeu is restricted for private cars (in 2026 open only to emergency services and residents until 30 November). Skating usually runs in the cold season.
Public transport instead: Almaty city bus (airport day route 92) 92 from Almaty International Airport (stops at the exits of Terminal 1 and Terminal 2) to Mamyr-2 microdistrict (terminus in south-western Almaty), daily 06:00–23:00; night route 3 runs from the airport to the Orbita-2 microdistrict 23:00–06:00, sold on the first floor of the International Terminal, 1 change. No direct public transport from the airport to Medeu: bus 92 runs from the terminals into the city, and Medeu lies about 15 km further south, up the Small Almaty gorge at the end of Dostyk Avenue.
