To provide a method for carrying out heat pipe snow-melting at a low cost.

This heat pipe snow-melting method utilizing ground heat obtained through a heat pipe 1 buried underground comprises steps for burying an excavating body A with an excavating part 3 detachably connected to the tip of a tubular base body 2 in a predetermined place of the ground, disposing a heat collecting part 1a of the heat pipe 1 in the base body 2, then separating the excavating part 3 from the base body 2 to pull out the base body 2, obtaining ground heat through the heat collecting part 1a of the heat pipe 1, and radiating the ground heat from a radiating part 1b of the heat pipe 1 to utilize the ground heat.
