Situated around 30 kilometers (19 mi) from the town center and at 1,460 meters (4,790 ft) above mean sea level, it has one stadium area, both for cross-country and for biathlon. The venue was built for the 2011 Asian Winter Games and is homologated by International Ski Federation^[2]

The stadium buildings are located in the center of the complex, and the tracks are located taking into account the possibility of simultaneous competitions in both stadiums in different disciplines. In May 2021, the public organization "Alma-Qala'21" planted 50 trees on the territory of the complex.^[3]
