Ski Slopes near Hangzhou - Chinese New Year's 2022 Self-travel Daytrip Destinations

It's Spring Festival 2022! Winter cold and snow machines turn the mountains around Hangzhou into a playground of snowy slopes. Find hotel stay and Hot Springs too! Here's our Top Four recommended ski destinations selected from seven local options. Prices sourced from Chinese Review App Dazhong Dianping(大众点评).

As winter in Hangzhou gets quite gloomy around the Spring Festival, there is a positive side to it – wet and cold weather turns the hills and mountains surrounding Hangzhou into snowy slopes! With that and usually a bit of help from humans, there are quite a few skiing places within a couple of hours drive from Hangzhou.

We were using 大众点评 for price reference and we strongly suggest that you book in advance as prices at the door may vary. In addition, we have noticed that there are plenty of different packages available, some of them including a hotel stay and hot spring baths, so make sure to explore your options to the fullest!

Tip:

All of these resorts are good for a weekend escape, but at the end of the day it's good to remember not to have super high expectations - the Zhejiang climate doesn’t allow for really high quality ski slopes.

For those and more advanced ski tracks you might want to head up to the North of China, we will cover that in the near future. Stay tuned!

Happy Spring Festival!
