Snow Realm Secret Land · Altay Winter In-Depth Experience Plan
(❄️ 2026 Winter Special Planning ❄️)
[Opening:A Poem of Ice and Snow at 47° North]
While most regions across the country are still waiting for the first snowfall, Altay’s snow season has quietly begun. This land, hailed by “Chinese National Geography” as the “Snow Capital of China,” benefits from the natural barrier of the Altai Mountains to form a snow-retention period of up to 180 days. In the winter of 2026, Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency launches the “Snow Country Secret Land” themed route, taking you to unlock the wonder of water freezing instantly when splashed, the rustic charm of horse-drawn sleds, the thrill of gliding on powder snow, and to experience the true winter aesthetics of Northern Xinjiang.
I. Core Highlights of the Route
(1) Full Coverage of Three Major Ski Resorts
Keketuohai International Ski Resort:A cloud-level ski resort at an altitude of 3,100 meters, featuring China’s longest 9.7-kilometer Gem Avenue ski run, with a 1,350-meter vertical drop suitable for professional players to challenge. In the 2026 snow season, a new night-skiing lighting system has been added, extending skiing time until 22:00.
Jiangjunshan Ski Resort:A “city ski resort” just 2 kilometers from Altay city center, with 41 ski runs covering players of all levels. A special “Sunset Cable Car” experience is offered, reaching the summit at the golden moment of 18:30 to watch pink-purple sunset glow spread across the ski runs.
Jikepulin Ski Resort:Located within the Hemu scenic area, after skiing you can hike to the viewing platform to photograph the Tuvan villages in the morning mist, and enjoy the superior convenience of “ski-in, ski-out.”
(2) Intangible Cultural Heritage Immersive Experience
Horse-Drawn Sled Through the Forest Sea:Ride a wooden sled pulled by a Northeast horse through the Irtysh River canyon. In 2026, it has been specially upgraded to a “warm-type sled,” equipped with thick floral cotton quilts and hot ginger tea, with a one-way experience lasting 40 minutes.

Snow Realm Secret Land · Altay Winter In-Depth Experience PlanTuvan Folk Home Visit:Watch a Chuur (Tuvan throat instrument) performance in a century-old wooden house and participate in the process of making milk wine. Visitors can wear traditional fur clothing to take creative “water freezing instantly” photos; professional photographer follow-shoot service requires advance booking.
(3) Premium Scenic Spot Check-In Plan
Kanas Three Bays Hike:In winter, Moon Bay forms blue ice crevices, and the morning mist concentration at Immortal Bay reaches its annual peak. The travel agency provides crampon rental services to ensure safe walking on snow.
Hemu Sunrise Viewing Platform:At 8:30 AM, ride a snowmobile to the summit to photograph the wonder of “golden sunshine on snow mountains” dancing with cooking smoke. In 2026, a heated viewing room has been added, offering hot cocoa and telescope services.
