December is cold, with occasional snow and frost. The winter scenery is magical, with snow-covered pines and a higher chance of seeing the sea of clouds. It's a low season for tourism, so you can enjoy the mountain in peace.
Pack heavy winter clothing, including thermal underwear, a down jacket, waterproof boots, gloves, hat, and scarf. Bring crampons for icy trails and a windproof outer layer.
Some trails and facilities may be closed due to snow and ice. Check conditions before hiking. Cable cars may be suspended in strong winds. Dress warmly and be prepared for cold temperatures.
