Time Out Beijing, January 16, 2012
Jundushan Ski Village
Jundushan Ski Resort is the closest to the city centre at a mere 34km away, and offers night skiing with arresting vistas across the city. The slopes include runs for both beginners and intermediates. All of the slopes are south-facing and so can get a little slushy.
Even if the snow’s not great, this is one of the best ski spots for larking around with sleds, inner tubes and snowmobiles. After a busy day of playing in the snow, chill out and soak stiff or sore muscles in the hot springs at Jiuhua Spa and Resort in Xiaotangshan (6178 2288) – just 5km away.
Jundushan is easily do-able as a day trip from Beijing, but if you fancy making a weekend of it there are Russian-style villas and Mongolian yurts available at the resort, as well as numerous hotels to plonk your head outside of the ski park.
Prices
Day pass Monday-Friday 160RMB; half-day 140RMB (four hours). Full day Saturday-Sunday, New Year and Spring Festival 240RMB; half-day 200RMB (four hours).
Night skiing 5-10pm daily 100RMB. Snowboard coaching starts from 320RMB per person for two hours; ski-suit rental from 30RMB.
Getting there
Take either the 345 or 919 bus from Deshengmen station to Dongguang Guandao, then the number 21 bus to the resort.If you’re starting off by subway take Line 13 to Longzhe and then hop on the 21 bus to the resort.
