Description
Komsomol Peak, standing majestically at 4,376 meters above sea level, is one of the most stunning and challenging climbs in the Almaty mountains. This breathtaking summit offers adventurers a journey through the Bogdanovich Glacier, past Nunatak, and over Komsomol Pass. Join us on an unforgettable alpine ascent to the most beautiful peak in Almaty.
Preparing for the Adventure
Although one of the most demanding routes, reaching the starting point requires minimal effort compared to the climb itself. The adventure begins at Talgar Pass, where you should arrive fully equipped, ready for the challenges ahead.
Starting at Medeo
Your journey starts at the world-famous Medeo ice rink, known for being the highest ice rink in the world. From here, head to the base station of the funicular and ride up to the highest point of the Shymbulak ski resort. The ride itself offers stunning views and a glimpse of the adventure to come.
Through Bogdanovich Glacier
From Shymbulak, your ascent begins towards the Bogdanovich Glacier. This part of the journey is both exhilarating and demanding, as you navigate the icy terrain. The glacier, with its crevasses and seracs, is a testament to nature’s raw beauty and power.
Passing Nunatak
Next, you’ll encounter Nunatak, a striking rocky peak that stands isolated amidst the ice. This landmark guides climbers toward Komsomol Pass, marking a significant milestone in the ascent. The surrounding landscape here is nothing short of spectacular, with panoramic views that stretch across the Alatau range.
Over Komsomol Pass
Reaching Komsomol Pass is a crucial part of the climb. This high-altitude pass challenges your endurance and climbing skills but rewards you with unparalleled vistas. The path through the pass leads directly to the final ascent of Komsomol Peak.
The Final Ascent to Komsomol Peak
The final push to the summit is the most demanding segment of the climb. Here, every step brings you closer to the peak, and the sense of achievement grows with each stride. Upon reaching the summit of Komsomol Peak, you’ll be greeted by awe-inspiring views of the Almaty mountains and beyond. The feeling of standing at 4,376 meters, surrounded by the beauty of the Zailiysky Alatau, is indescribable.
Descending the Peak
After soaking in the views and capturing the moment with photographs, it’s time to begin the descent. Retrace your steps back through Komsomol Pass, past Nunatak, and down the Bogdanovich Glacier. The journey down offers a different perspective and the chance to reflect on the climb.

Did the 2-day Altyn-Emel trip. The Singing Dune at sunset was magical. Our guide handled everything - permits, accommodation, meals. We just showed up and enjoyed. Already planning our next trip with Zabugorshiki.

Solo traveler here. I was nervous about hiking alone in a foreign country but the guide made me feel completely safe. The trail to Kok-Zhailau was beautiful and the photos he took of me were amazing. Only wish the hike was longer!
David R.
Third time booking with these guys. Butakovka, Big Almaty Lake, and now Titov Peak. Every single time the service is flawless. The fact that it's always private and max 6 people makes such a difference compared to other operators.
