“Avalanche danger remains in the mountains of Almaty region from December 23 to 26, 2024. The Department of Emergency Situations asks citizens, tourists and vacationers not to go out onto snowy slopes due to the possible provocation of avalanches, and also to observe all safety measures and behavior in mountainous areas,” said the statement.
There are 55 avalanche-prone areas in the Almaty region, which are located in the Enbekshikazakh, Talgar and Karasai districts along the southern slope of the Ile-Alatau mountain range. It is noted that avalanches mainly occur due to rising temperatures and heavy precipitation in the form of rain and snow.
