This snowy paradise is massive.
Imagine a space as big as about 40 Axiata Arena stadiums — over 98,000 sq m.
The ski area boasts a vertical drop of nearly 60m, with three ski slopes ranging from beginner-friendly to an advanced 340m-long track for more daring skiers.
The resort maintains its icy interior at a chilly -10°C, thanks to 72 cooling machines and 33 snow-making machines. These machines continuously churn out fresh snow to ensure an average depth of 70cm across the entire park.

When you're not zipping down the slopes or playing in the snow, you can take a stroll through the Nordic-inspired town square, which incorporates dining, accommodation, entertainment, and shopping.

For those looking for an immersive winter experience, the resort also offers three ice and snow-themed hotels with nearly 1,000 rooms. Among these, 17 exclusive "ski-in, ski-out" suites allow you to ski directly to the ski slopes from your rooms!
