Trek Xueshan (Snow Mountain)
Rising to 3886m, Xueshan is Taiwan’s second-highest peak and one of the most scenic climbs in East Asia. From tranquil pine forests to high alpine ridgelines, the trail rewards trekkers with sweeping views across the central mountain range.
About the Trek
Most ridge treks in Shei-Pa National Park are challenging and not suitable for beginners. To make the summit more accessible, our trek follows the main trail via Wuling Farm, offering a gradual ascent suitable for a broad range of fitness levels.
3-Day Xueshan Main Peak Trek
Day 1 – Qika Cabin (2460m)
Start with a gentle 2 km ascent through pine forests to Qika Cabin, enjoying cool alpine air and lush scenery.
Day 2 – Temporary Campsite (3000m)
The trail opens to stunning views of Nanhudashan and Hehuanshan. Trek the “Crying Slope” switchbacks and trek to Xueshan East Peak. Camp at the temporary site near 3000 m.
Day 3 – Summit (3886m) & Descent
This will be a long day, covering a total of 14.6km. Begin before dawn through the Black Forest, into a vast glacial cirque, then the final 1 km to the summit for panoramic views. Descend to the campsite and then continue to trailhead and spend the night at Wuling Farm.
Note: With 369 Cabin under reconstruction, we’ll stay at Qika Cabin (Dormitory beds) and the temporary campsite (single tent for each trekker).
