Mẫu Sơn Peak, Lạng Sơn
Mẫu Sơn Peak, situated in Lạng Sơn Province, is one of the most renowned snow viewing spots in Vietnam. Standing at an elevation of approximately 1,500 meters, this area is celebrated for its majestic natural scenery.

The ancient houses of the Dao and Tày ethnic groups peek through the mist and frost. Visiting Mẫu Sơn in winter not only offers breathtaking snow views but also the chance to savor warm local delicacies like six-spurred chicken, roasted pork, and Mẫu Sơn wine.
Tà Xùa, Sơn La
Tà Xùa, located in Bắc Yên District, Sơn La Province, is a famous cloud-hunting destination. In winter, Tà Xùa takes on a unique charm as rolling seas of clouds blend with the cold air. The towering mountain peaks and hidden trails shrouded in mist create a mystical atmosphere. This is also the ideal time for cloud hunting, as the morning sunlight pierces through the thick clouds, illuminating the sky. From December to February, frost or snow may appear, though it is not guaranteed every year. Keep an eye on the weather to plan your cloud-hunting adventure effectively.
Sapa, Lào Cai
Sapa stands out as one of the prime snow-viewing destinations in Vietnam during winter. On chilly days, Sapa becomes even more enchanting, offering the chance to witness pristine snow. When temperatures drop, snow blankets the hills, terraced fields, and rooftops.

Additionally, winter in Sapa is made cozier with hearty, warm meals. Local specialties include salmon hotpot, grilled meats, and thắng cố. Snow hunting in Sapa is not just a journey to explore nature but also an opportunity to immerse in the magical beauty of highland winters.
