The Beijing 2022 snowboard cross venue at Genting Snow Park in Chongli

Genting Snow Park.

The Olympic freestyle venue, still doing its original job. Genting's halfpipe and park terrain sit among ordinary pistes in the Chongli valley, an hour from Beijing — the rare resort where a beginner and a park skier can share a base.

Olympic terrain, ordinary weekend.

Genting Secret Garden — now usually branded Genting Snow Park — was one of the competition venues of the 2022 Winter Games, hosting freestyle skiing and snowboard events. The halfpipe, slopestyle and aerials infrastructure remains, and so does the unusual result: a Chinese resort where world-class park terrain sits alongside a perfectly normal set of graded pistes.

That makes it a good choice for groups that do not ski alike. Someone can spend the morning on greens and reds while another works the park, and both end up at the same lunch table. It shares the Chongli fundamentals with Thaiwoo and Wanlong — managed snow, a dry cold valley, and the Taizicheng high-speed rail link that makes a Beijing weekend possible.

What is here.

Five angles on the Olympic valley.

The Olympic features

Freestyle and snowboard

The competition-standard park and pipe terrain is the resort signature. Access and opening status vary with the season and event calendar.

Graded pistes

For everyone else

A full spread of ordinary runs means the park is not a gatekeeper to the resort.

The rail link 

Just over an hour from Beijing

Beijing North to Taizicheng, then a short transfer — the same easy approach as the rest of Chongli.

Snowmaking

A dependable season

Chongli snow is managed rather than awaited; that reliability is the whole reason the valley became China ski hub.

Resort hopping 

One valley, several hills

Thaiwoo, Genting, Wanlong and Fulong are close enough that a longer stay can mix them.

Getting it right.

Venue status and weekend logistics.

Check what is open

Olympic features are not automatically public terrain in every week of the season. Confirm park and pipe access before building a day around it.

Season timing

Genting joined the 2026–27 season through the first half of November, later than Wanlong. An early trip should verify the piste list. Read more →

Weekend pressure

Chongli weekends are busy. Pre-book lessons, rental and lift access, and prefer midweek days if your dates can move.

Park etiquette

Work up through the features, look before dropping and respect the closed lines. A park is not the place to improvise without a spotter.

Combine the valley

A four-day weekend can ski two different hills. We normally set the second day by conditions and group energy, not by a fixed promise.

Match the hill to the group.

Tell us who skis what and we will set the Chongli days around the terrain that is actually open.
