Snow Mountain is Taiwan’s second highest mountain and one of the most beautiful. On the way to the summit, we’ll cross another one of Taiwan’s top 100 peaks, Snow Mountain East, and pass through the beautiful Black Forest before climbing the alpine cirque to reach the top.

If you’re a full time student or you’ve been on another overnight hike with us, the price is $8,500NTD. If this is your first hike with us, the price is $9,500NTD.
