About Oi-Qaragai

Oi-Qaragai, also known as Lesnaya Skazka, is a mountain resort in the Almaty region at about 1,650 m. Its runs were designed with Austrian experts, and most suit beginners and intermediates.

It is a mixed-use resort rather than a pure ski destination: besides skiing there are toboggan routes, rope activities and forest walks, which makes it a good choice for groups where not everyone skis.
