Hakuba Ski Holiday Resort

Hakuba Valley offers 10 diverse ski areas across one lift pass and is a great introduction to any skier looking to hit the mythical ‘japow’ so many have heard whispers of. Put on the map after the 1998 Nagano Olympics the Japanese Alps provide abundant snow falls and powder conditions that will make you the envy of your European skier counterparts. Skiers and snowboarders of all abilities will enjoy the slopes on offer and whilst the lift system isn’t modern or speedy (contradictory to pre-conceived ideas of modern Japan), the benefits of glorious views, playful terrain and incredible snow allow skiers to overlook these minor offences.
