Altay Ice and Snow Adventure:Choose from 7-55 seat vehicle models, a warm winter journey in heated wooden cabins
❄ ️[Route Highlights:A deep experience where ice and snow wonders intertwine with culture]
Altay’s winter seems enchanted—the surface of Kanas Lake freezes into a blue ice mirror, chimney smoke from Hemu Village winds among the snow-covered pines, and the border snowfields of Baihaba together with the Tuvan wooden cabins form a ink-wash painting. Recent data from 2026 shows that the local average winter snow depth reaches 60 centimeters, and the snow is fluffy and dry, making it a “powder snow paradise” in the hearts of ski enthusiasts.
Unlike conventional sightseeing routes, Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency has specially designed a “Ice and Snow + Culture Dual Route”:
Kanas Three Bays Hike:On the frozen river channels of Fairy Bay, Moon Bay, and Wolong Bay, follow professional guides to find snow mushrooms and rime wonders
Hemu Village Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience:Stay in Tuvan wooden cabins, learn to make traditional fur skis, and listen to Chuur (reed flute) performances
General Mountain Ski Resort Night Skiing:The newly opened beginner slopes in 2026 are equipped with intelligent lighting systems, so you can see clearly even when skiing at night
Snowfield Starry Sky Photography:On the uninhabited snowfields of Chonghu’er Town, Burqin County, use professional equipment to capture the stunning scene of the Milky Way and snow-covered pines in the same frame
