"According to preliminary information, snow and ice have reached Mongolia's border with Russia," Mongorad, a state news agency, quoted a deputy transport minister as saying.
Thousands of Mongolian and Russian tourists have been stranded, with reports from both countries that about half of all air passengers between the two countries were stranded.
"The snowstorm that hit the region was the biggest in 30 years," said Isaias, the travel operator for Mongolian tour companies, adding that the country's tourism industry was badly affected.
"It's a disaster for tourists. We only operate eight to ten tours a day and they are not too many," he told the AFP news agency.
The snow storm began late on Monday and by Tuesday, more than 100 people were stranded in a hotel in the capital of the northeastern Altai region, Reuters news agency reported.
"I'm trying to see if I can make it to Ulaanbaatar on Tuesday. The roads are too bad. All flights have been cancelled," Mongolian Grand Princess Hotels' spokesman Alesar Ibraimov told Reuters.
Mongolia has a population of 3.7 million, while Russia has a population of 142 million.
