SHANGHAI L+SNOW INDOOR SKIING THEME RESORT

SHANGHAI, CHINA

Shanghai L+SNOW Indoor Skiing Theme Resort set a new benchmark for immersive indoor snow experiences when it opened in September 2024. The world’s largest indoor snow resort offers 90,000 square metres of snow fields – equivalent to 12 football fields – with a breathtaking vertical drop of 60 metres, akin to a 20-storey building.

Shanghai L+SNOW Indoor Skiing Theme Resort features three hotels: the IHG Vignette Collection Hotel, Crowne Plaza Hotel and L+Snow Supreme Hotel. There are four ski runs, a unique S-shaped 3D track and 20 snow entertainment attractions including China’s first indoor snow train, cable car, speed sledding and ice bikes. The resort also has an all-weather water park with 26 slides, a multifunctional convention centre and an enchanting ice-themed commercial town.
