Almaty, nestled at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the whole city is surrounded by snow when winter comes⛄, the snow-capped mountains are breathtakingly beautiful, simply the most healing place in Kazakhstan! This time we focus on snow-capped mountain views and popular local restaurant Monti Bambini, taking you to feel the fantastic healing power of Almaty winter
❄️ Snow mountain charm check-in recommendation
The biggest highlight of Almaty is to see the snow-capped mountains! As long as the weather is cold enough, the snow-capped mountains are as bustling and quiet as an ink painting, not only suitable for photography, but also very chill, I can't think of a more healing picture than the snow scene. From the city center, you can find a variety of snow-capped mountain views in about a half-hour drive. It is recommended to leave early, because the snow-capped mountains are shrouded in smoke in the morning, and the light and shadow are perfect for taking beautiful photos!
🍽️ Monti Bambini Featured Restaurants
For an atmospheric restaurant with a beautiful view, Monti Bambini must be found! Located at Kerei Zhanibek Khandar 558/1, Almaty 050020, there are different views both at noon and at night (especially when it snows, the atmosphere is full). It focuses on French and Italian cuisine, a reminder: reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and holidays easily packed. Every time I feel chilly after hiking in the snowy mountains, I sit down to eat hot spaghetti/steak and look out the window at the snow. It's so cool!
🏔️ Trip tips
Personal experience: To see the snow-capped mountains in Almaty, it is recommended to be sure to prepare warm equipment (down, gloves, non-slip shoes), and it is best to blow friends who are not afraid of the cold, so the atmosphere is better! It's easy to slip on your feet in the snow, and hiking shoes with non-slip mats are definitely a must-have. Remember to use a wide-angle lens for landscape photos. The combination of snow and city is unbeatable
