Altay: The Cradle of Human Skiing

Birthplaces of Skiing

The earliest traces of skiing weren’t found in the Alps or Hokkaido — but in Altay. Over 12,000 years ago, ancient rock carvings at Dunderbrak depicted early hunters gliding across snowy plains on fur-covered skis. In 2015, experts from 18 countries officially recognized Altay as the origin of human skiing.

Golden Latitude (47°N)

Situated on the same latitudinal snow belt as the Alps and Whistler, sharing similar climatic advantages for exceptional snow quality.

Extended Season

The ski season typically runs 150–170 days each year, offering one of the longest operating windows in China.

Superior Powder Quality

Light, dry, silky snow that provides ideal conditions for snowboard training and freeride enthusiasts.

A RESORT IN THE CITY

Uniquely positioned just 1.6 km from downtown Altay and 30 minutes from the airport, Jiangjunshan ensures that hotels, restaurants, and transit options are right at your doorstep. You never have to compromise between urban convenience and elite snow quality.
