Overview
Where the standard Balcony route ends, this one keeps going - onto narrow animal paths that climb relentlessly. There are no flat stretches. Just uphill. Past the treeline at 3,000m+, you reach the 'True Balcony' - a grassy plateau that drops straight into an abyss. Almaty looks tiny from here. The wind at this altitude is strong enough to physically push you sideways on the bike. No cell service. No other people. Just mountains.
What to Expect
- 3,300m - above the treeline
- No flat ground anywhere
- Zero cell signal
- Wind strong enough to push you over
What's Included
- Full set of protective gear
- Transfer from the city to the location and back
- Briefing and bike control training
- Full technical support
- Mountain herbal tea and lunches on long rides
- Expert guide along the best routes

Rider Reviews
"True Balcony is aptly named - you literally stand on a cliff edge overlooking the entire Almaty valley. Heart-stopping views."
Саян К."Steeper and longer than the regular Balcony route. Some sections I could see straight down to the gorge floor. The viewpoint at the top is wide and flat, you just sit and stare for a while."

3,550m. The air is thin enough to feel it. Loose scree slopes, altitude headaches, and a frozen emerald lake at the end. Electric motors outperform gas engines up here.
