Snow Mountain (Xueshan) is the second highest mountain peak in Taiwan at 3886m above sea level. As a famous site in Xueba National Park and relatively hiker-friendly, it has attracted thousands of outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world. Even though Snow Mountain peak is located on the boundary of Miaoli and Taichung, it is actually easier to reach from Yilan. The trailhead of the Snow Mountain Hiking trail is in Wuling Farm, Yilan. Generally it takes 2 days and 2 nights to complete a hiking round trip. On this trip, you will pass a massive field of fir black forest and the shape of a glacier cirque, giving you the opportunity to witness the largest glacial traces in Taiwan. You will also have the chance to meet two of Taiwan’s Hundred Peaks, Snow Mountain East Peak (3201m) and Snow Mountain Main Peak (3886m). From the summit of Xueshan’s peak, extending to the north and reaching the far-away Dabajianshan; Dabajian Mountain, this strech of mountain ranges is the famous Holy Ridge (聖稜線). Only those brave enough to reach the peak of Xueshan have the opportunity to experience the beauty of this area.

Notice

  • Hiking on Snow Mountain is popular throughout the whole year. However, permits are required due to the limited cabin capacity. Therefore, we highly recommend hiking on weekdays to ensure you can obtain a national park permit. We will need your help filling out a form for the permit application associated with the 2D2N Snow Mountain Hiking Tour.
  • It is snow season from December to March every year. To hike during snow season is strictly regulated in Xueba National Park. First, the group leader requires a certificate for hiking training in snowy conditions, which needs to be showed when applying for permits. Second, each hiker should have crampons and a hiking pole. Otherwise you will be not allowed to enter the trail at the checkpoint next to the trailhead.
