There are many reasons for choosing China

Whether you’re coming to ski or climb, the mountains of China come with a rich sense of history. In fact, skiing on the Altai Mountains, which are spread across the four countries of Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan and China, is said to have begun thousands of years ago as a way of traversing its snowy and icy terrain. If you’re climbing in Tibet, then you’ll be in the company of one of the most spiritual sites on Earth dating back centuries.
