Sakae Ski Holiday Packages
Do it your way with one of our Sakae ski holiday packages. Whether you're into thrills on the mountain, some respite at altitude or a mix of both, the ideal escape starts with Expedia. One of the most well-known ski destinations in Japan, Sakae is home to around 9 runs that are open from December to April every year. Spend some time in the ski village and rent any last-minute equipment you need for downhill skiing. If it's your first time on skis, there's at least one beginners' area where you can work on your skills. There's also a day spa to make use of here. After a long day whizzing down the slopes, your aching legs will welcome a relaxing massage and treatment. A family ski holiday in Sakae has fun activities the entire gang can get into, like tobogganing, snow biking and snowboarding.
How To Get Around
If you're planning to book one of our Sakae holiday packages, there's a good chance you'll fly into Shinshu-Matsumoto Airport. From here, it's two hours to reach this celebrated ski destination. Driving from the centre of Sakae to the runs takes 15 minutes and you can park for free. To be safe on the roads during winter, it's recommended to carry snow chains. Select from season-pass, full-day and half-day tickets depending on your ski holiday budget and timeline. Speaking of budgets, Expedia's Sakae ski package deals will make sure you don't overspend on yours. Bundle your flight, hotel and car rental and see the savings stack up like snow on a mountainside.
