The National Alpine Skiing Centre lies on Xiaohaituo Mountain, northwest of Yanqing. It was the alpine skiing venue for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. The course drops nearly 900 meters and is nicknamed the 'Snow Swallow.' After the Games, some of the slopes opened to the public for skiing in winter. In other seasons, visitors can take a cable car up the mountain for sightseeing or hike to enjoy views of Haituo Mountain. Skiing and sightseeing both require advance booking through official channels. Temperatures on the mountain are noticeably lower than in the city, so dress warmly.
