Location & Access

Xiling Snow Mountain Grass Skiing sits in the heart of Xiling Snow Mountain, about 100 kilometers west of downtown Chengdu. The grass skiing area is located south of the ski resort’s service center, making it easy to find once you arrive. To get there, you can either drive yourself (around 1.5–2 hours from Chengdu) or take a tourist bus from Chengdu’s Qianwei Bus Station. If you prefer public transport, take the high-speed train to Dayi County and then a taxi—it’s straightforward and stress-free!

Natural Scenery

At Xiling Snow Mountain, you’ll feel like you’re stepping into a winter wonderland year-round. Even in summer, the peak stays cool and crisp, with lush green grass covering the slopes. The air is fresh, and the views? Absolutely stunning. You’ll see rolling hills, mist-covered forests, and on clear days, distant snow-capped mountains. During spring and autumn, wildflowers and colorful foliage add even more magic. But the real star here is the grass skiing slope—perfect for sliding down while soaking up the alpine vibes.

Cultural Touches

While Xiling Snow Mountain might feel like a remote paradise, it’s actually packed with local charm. Near the grass skiing area, you’ll find traditional Sichuan-style pavilions where you can rest and grab snacks. In the colder months, locals host firepot parties (hot pot around a fire) near the slopes—talk about cozy! You might even spot performers dressed in Tibetan or Qiang ethnic costumes, adding a splash of culture to your adventure.

Practical Extras

The grass skiing spot is surprisingly beginner-friendly. You can rent gear (grass skis, helmets, etc.) right on site, and staff are super helpful. There’s also a café with floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the slopes—perfect for sipping tea while watching others glide down. If you’re visiting with kids, there’s a small play area nearby. For food, try the local specialties like yaxuan (grilled meat) or hotpot—trust us, it’s worth it after a day of sliding!

The Experience

Sliding down Xiling Snow Mountain’s grass slopes is unlike anything else. It’s exhilarating, yes, but also calming—kind of like a mix between sledding and zip-lining. The slopes are wide and gentle enough for first-timers, but there are steeper sections if you’re feeling brave. On a sunny day, the combination of blue sky, fresh air, and the wind rushing past makes it pure joy. And hey, even if you wipe out, the soft grass cushions your landing! Afterward, explore nearby trails or soak in a hot spring—the perfect way to unwind.

Whether you’re a thrill-seeker or just looking for a chill day in nature, Xiling Snow Mountain Grass Skiing has something for everyone. Pack layers, bring sunscreen, and get ready for an unforgettable day in the hills!
