Hi guys,
Is it possible to drive up to the lake in the winter time (early of January 2020)? I rent a Toyota Prado 4x4. How is the road condition along the way up? Any driving skill needed?
Any advice to visit in the morning or afternoon? Thank you

Big Almaty Lake in Winter
Re: Big Almaty Lake in Winter
I think they clear it in winter. I remember driving there in April when there was still a good amount of snow and it was cleared from the road. It's asphalt all the way.

Hi, you can go in winter but its like russian roulette, sometimes weather is bad and the road it's very full of ice and snow and they close it.

You can use all known driving skills ))), but you cannot change the current situation - the road to the lake is officially closed indefinitely. Allegedly, for reconstruction. And so the road itself is quite passable for 4WD all year round. I went there once all winter every week even before the road was repaired (about 2002).
This is a video of the road after renovation.
