Altay Winter Ski & Snow Village Loop
In and out of Altay, skiing at Jiangjun Mountain, Jikepulin, and Koktokay, while enjoying the snowscapes of Hemu and Kanas
This loop connects three major ski resorts with Hemu, Kanas, and Ulungur Lake, balancing skiing and winter sightseeing. Due to snow and ice on winter roads, hiring a local 4WD vehicle with a driver is highly recommended; self-driving is not advised. Ideal for skiers of all levels. If traveling with children, the two days from Kanas to Fuhai can be omitted. Winter harvesting is mainly in January; other months feature ice fishing.
The snow season runs from November to March, with temperatures often dropping below -20°C.
