Yanqing National Alpine Ski Centre

As host of the 2022 Winter Olympics, Beijing has made a significant investment in developing the Yangqing National Alpine Ski Centre. The centre is said to feature one of the steepest courses in the world, with the gradient in some sections as much as 68 degrees. The ski centre is accessible by high speed train from Beijing, making short work of those keen to experience action on the slopes, either as a participant or spectator.
