Shanghai, Monday, 20 October 2025.
A new, multi‑attraction indoor ski resort opened near Shanghai International Tourism and Resort Zone in October 2025 and is being billed as the world’s largest indoor snow park. Early visitor reports (last Wednesday) describe full‑size snowboard runs, a slope‑top village with F&B, tubing, zip lines, ice caves and themed sculptures—positioning the site as a multi‑experience leisure anchor rather than a single‑purpose slope. For retail and hospitality professionals this creates immediate routing and packaging opportunities with Shanghai Disney Resort—day‑trip bundling, shuttle integration and extended‑stay lifts—but also competitive pressure on room night share and transport capacity. Operational pinch points already noted include rental throughput, slope capacity management, multi‑attraction queuing and last‑mile connectivity from nearby hotel clusters. The opening reflects wider trends toward large themed indoor attractions in urban resort zones and underscores the tactical value of differentiated, non‑park experiences for driving incremental occupancy and ancillary spend.
