The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev and the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev visited the "Medeu" ski resort cluster link.
The head of our state was told about the history of creation and architectural features of the "Medeu" dam, constructed at an altitude of 1750 meters above sea level for the purpose of protecting against mudflow floods.
A "Health Stairway" consisting of 842 steps leads to the top of the "Medeu" dam. In 2011, a 4.5-kilometer cableway was built next to the dam, leading to the "Shymbulak" ski resort.
The "Medeu" sports complex was built in 1972, located at an altitude of 1700 meters above sea level.
The complex has an ice rink surface of 10.5 thousand square meters, capable of accommodating up to 3 thousand people at a time. Every year, it is visited by more than 400 thousand guests.
Today, the complex operates as a cluster of sports, tourism, and culture. Sports competitions, mass skating, cultural events, and festivals are regularly held.
In 2011, the VII Winter Asian Games were held here, and in 2017, the World University Games competitions were held.
During the acquaintance, the Presidents of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan watched demonstration performances by young figure skaters.
