Unique Points

Massive Vertical Drop & Extensive Terrain → with almost 1,400 m elevation difference, and 70 km of pistes + 38 km of ski-routes, it offers both variety and scale.

Powder & Off-Piste Paradise → advanced/ungroomed runs and freeride/backcountry options make it ideal for powder seekers.

Modern Resort, Multiple Base Areas → West, Center, East areas, big lodges, hotel development, lodging choices, good facilities.

Spectacular Scenery & Wilderness → remote Altay, pristine landscapes, less crowded than many mainstream resorts. Natural beauty is a major draw.

Hidden Gem & Discovery Factor → not as well known internationally yet; for people seeking something less commercial and more adventurous, it has that “undiscovered powder heaven” feel.

Cultural / Nature Tourism Tie-in → Hemu Village is famous for its natural beauty (birch forests, rivers, etc.), so skiing + travel + scenery is a strong combination.
