Overview
Snow Mountain (Xueshan) is the second highest peak in Taiwan, next to Jade Mountain’s main peak. The main peak of Snow Mountain is 3,886 meters (12,746 feet) above sea level.
The ecological environment along this trail includes subtropical forests, grasslands, pine and cypress forests, and shrubs; it has a very high plant diversity. The total length of the Snow Mountain Trail is 10.9 km (6.76 miles) that go passing the eastern and the main peak of the Snow Mountain. The route crossing the eastern peak is one of the most beautiful high mountain hiking routes in Taiwan. The white wood forest nest to the 369 Cabin, the beautiful and quiet Black Forest, and the glacial leftover terrain of the valley are the most unique alpine scenery in the Snow Mountain.
Taking a 3 days 2 nights hiking trip, we can have a more flexible schedule to enjoy the beautiful landscape and do an adaptation to high altitude for avoiding AMS (Altitude mountain sickness).
Let's discover the exciting promotion package for year 2020 as the Year of Taiwan Mountain Tourism!
