Hike to Furmanov Peak and the Heavenly Swing from Almaty

We searched for a long time for a one-day route that would have both nature and adrenaline. We came across this tour and decided to go together with my brother. Sergey organized everything clearly: transfer on time, experienced guide. We walked slowly, admiring the landscapes. Along the way we stopped at a mountain spring and collected water. The ascent to Furmanov Peak was memorable for its alpine meadows and rocky ridges. From the top there is an incredible panorama of the Trans-Ili Alatau. And the descent to the Sky Swing added thrills. We are very satisfied, thank you!

We bought the tour for the swing, but didn't regret it! We gathered as a group of four, we had long wanted to unwind. The road to the gorge took about an hour, we left early. The trail goes through a pine forest, then the ascent becomes steeper. The guide encouraged us, we made stops. At the top of Furmanov Peak we had lunch with an amazing view of the mountains. But the most striking thing is, of course, the swing over the gorge. It takes your breath away! The photos turned out epic. We got tired, but it was worth it.

I bought the tour for my parents, they are no longer young but still active. I wanted them to spend a day in nature in comfort. I chose this route because it is a one-day trip and not too difficult. My parents are delighted! They say the ascent was easy, and they especially enjoyed the rest stop by the spring — they drank clean water. From the top there is a wonderful panorama. And my mom wasn't even afraid to try the swing over the abyss. Special thanks to Aleksandr for his caring attitude and attention to older people. I recommend it to everyone!

The panorama from the top is gorgeous.

Good tour. Thanks.

We were at Furmanovo. Beautiful but cold and windy. Don't forget your jackets.

My husband and I had long wanted to get out to the mountains, but kept putting it off because of how busy we were. Friends recommended this one-day hike, and we decided to give it a try. Madina helped with the choice and explained everything in detail. We set off early in the morning and admired the sunrise along the way. The trail first goes through a forest, then alpine meadows open up. At the top of Furmanov Peak we took a break, the views are simply breathtaking. And the swing over the gorge is something incredible, the adrenaline goes through the roof! We got a bit tired, but there are tons of impressions. Thank you so much!

Scenic route, but it's tough going uphill.

I've been wanting to swing on the swings over the abyss for a long time. Adrenaline is off the charts! The tour was well organized. Just dress warmly, it's windy at the top.

Went on this hike with friends. The trail goes through the forest, then alpine meadows — very beautiful. At the top, a panorama opens up, and the swings over the abyss add adrenaline. Great tour. I recommend it.

The weather let us down, it started raining. But the views were still beautiful. Jeanne cheered us up.

We went as a family with two school-age children. We wanted to show them the mountains. The ascent was a bit hard, especially on the last section, but the kids managed, and we are proud. At the top we got a little cold, the wind was strong, but the views made up for everything. Thanks to the guide for patience and support.
