Hakuba Ski Holiday Packages
Nestled in a valley at the base of the Northern Japan Alps lies Hakuba, one of the country's largest ski destinations. It's a gateway to ten resorts encompassing varied skiable terrain for all ability levels. Get your skiing off to a flying start at Hakuba Happo-One Ski Area, a host venue for the 1998 Winter Olympics. The extensive ski area offers 13 runs for beginners to expert shredders. Experienced skiers will enjoy powering through the powder in the Omusubi off-piste area. Tsugaike Ski Resort also offers plenty of downhill action and gets large and frequent dumps of snow in the winter. Get a piece of the ski action on any of the 14 runs. Meanwhile, children can race each other in safety in the Kids Park. Another top Hakuba ski holiday package option is Hakuba 47 Winter Sports Park. With lots of gentle slopes, it's ideal for families and beginners. For more advanced powder hounds, excitement and adventure await in the tree riding zones. One-day tickets for adults typically start from 5,500 Japanese yen (around £34). If your muscles ache after a day slopeside, unwind in a traditional onsen. Once reinvigorated, head to the Echoland area for après-ski fun. Drink and dance the night away in venues such as the Mocking Bird and Studio 902.
How To Get Around
Fly into Narita Intl. Airport (NRT) and hire a car for the 215-mile drive to Hakuba. If you prefer not to get behind the wheel, public transport will whisk you to the valley. Once in the valley, you can travel between the resorts on the shuttle bus.
Hakuba Things To Do
If you can bear to tear yourself away from the slopes, you'll find many other fun things to see and do in and around Hakuba. Tour Matsumoto Castle, a 16th-century structure in Matsumoto. Visit the snow monkeys of Jigokudani Monkey Park and watch as they bathe in natural hot springs. Enjoy other animal encounters at Chausuyama Zoo in Nagano. Bundle your hotel, flights and a hire car into a Hakuba ski holiday package and have more money in your pocket for snow-based frivolity.
