All Months
April through June gives you mild weather and blooming apple trees throughout the city — Almaty means 'father of apples' after all. Temperatures hover around 15-20°C, perfect for mountain hikes. September and October bring crisp air and autumn colors in the surrounding peaks. Winter skiing at Shymbulak runs December through March, but city temperatures drop to -15°C. July and August get uncomfortably hot, often hitting 35°C with little shade downtown. Spring and fall also mean fewer tourists — you'll have Charyn Canyon and Big Almaty Lake mostly to yourself. Book accommodations in advance during Nauryz (March 21-23) when the whole country celebrates the spring equinox.
