The awe-inspiring snow wall can reach a height of up to 20m (comparable to a seven-story building), One side of the road is designated for pedestrians, allowing you to walk between the walls of snow and enjoy the towering structures to your heart’s content. The walls are still 10m in height even in late June at the end of the season.[1]
