季节换景 · 阿勒泰Altay's Turn of Season: First Snowfall and Golden Leaves
A single flurry does not make winter across Altay. Early October marks ten profound days between gold and frost.
QINGTU SNOW / SIGNATURE
Ski Altay to Hemu
One day at Jiangjunshan, one at Jikepulin, nights in Hemu, and enough life off the snow to make it a journey rather than a lift ticket.

WHY THIS JOURNEY
How the days fit together.
Two clearly defined ski days make this a real snow product, not a winter sightseeing route.
Altay city and Hemu create two very different after-ski environments.
WHO IT IS FOR
Interest and pace, first.
- Travellers combining Altay ski areas for the first time
- Skiers who value life after the last run as much as hours on snow
- Guests who want coaching, gear and ski intensity tailored later

A few questions before you go.
Can the journey fit our dates?
Start by recording your dates and companions. Adjustments depend on access, activities and stays. Dates and resources require a separate confirmation.
Why is there no instant price?
The supplied data does not contain a confirmed QINGTU departure price. Sample numbers are not used as rates, and unconfirmed services are not presented as inclusions.
Does starting a plan make a booking?
No. An inquiry is not a booking, payment or reservation. It creates a clear consultation draft for you to confirm details with the QINGTU team.
