Location & Access
Fairy Mountain Ski Resort sits in Wulong District’s Shuanghe Township, nestled within the Fairy Mountain National Forest Park. It’s about a 2.5-hour drive from downtown Chongqing (or 3 hours by bus), making it a quick escape from the city. If you’re not driving, many hotels offer shuttle services, and local tour agencies run day trips—just ask your hotel to arrange it!
Natural Scenery: A Winter Wonderland
At 1,900–2,033 meters above sea level, Fairy Mountain Ski Resort is a rare sight in southern China. Think rolling snow-covered forests, frost-kissed trees, and mist-filled valleys—it’s why travelers call it “The Eastern Switzerland.” The snow season runs from November to February, with powder up to 40 cm thick. Even if you’ve never skied before, the scenery alone is worth the visit.
For All Skill Levels
Fairy Mountain has 4 slopes: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and a challenger’s run. Newbies love the gentle slopes, while pros can test their skills on steeper trails. Don’t worry about gear—rentals (ski suits, boots, poles) are affordable and included in most ticket packages. Bonus: The resort offers group lessons with patient instructors who’ll have you sliding in no time!
More Than Just Skiing
Even non-skiers will find fun here. Try snow tubing, snowmobiling, or snapping photos with reindeer (yes, really!) at the festive winter village. After dark, warm up with hot cocoa or spicy Sichuan hotpot in the lodge. Pro tip: Visit on a clear night for stargazing—the altitude means less light pollution.
Family-Friendly Vibes
Kids get their own mini-park with sledding hills and ice sculptures. Parents can relax at the heated lounge while little ones play. For a unique touch, book a stay in the nearby forest cabins or opt for luxury hotels with indoor pools to soothe tired muscles post-skiing.
Why Visit Fairy Mountain?
It’s not just about the snow. The mix of lush forests, fresh mountain air, and cheerful resort vibe makes it perfect for unwinding. Whether you’re shredding slopes, building a snowman, or sipping tea with a view, Fairy Mountain Ski Resort feels like a winter fairytale—without the crowds of Northern China’s ski spots.
