Assy Bartogay

The most popular mountain route

The route passes through the picturesque places of Ile-Alatau National Park. We will ascend by cars along the Turgen Gorge to the upper point, to the Astronomical Observatory of Assy. From this point will be the start of the bicycle part. The bicycle part goes along the high-mountainous plateau of Assy from the western part to the east. Assy plateau reaches a height up to 3000 meters above sea level, it is famous for its beautiful landscapes - photo lovers can enrich their collection with the excellent shots!
Overnight stay will be held in a small gorge hidden among the mountains on the meadows along a small river. On the second day we have to climb a pass, from which we'll have about 20 km of descent to the shore of Bartogay reservoir, where the finish point of the bicycle part of the route will be.
