President of Kyrgyzstan Sadyr Japarov on July 2 gave start to technical launch of the first two cable ways at the under-construction all-season mountain Ala-Too Resort in Ak-Suu district of Issyk-Kul region. The first phase of the project is scheduled to open in December 2026.

According to the presidential press service, construction of two cable ways measuring 1,727 meters and 2,296 meters in length has already been completed.
