In other words, Niseko is a very special place that all snow and off-piste aficionados should experience!

Powder for everyone!

Located on the Hokkaido peninsula, with breathtaking panoramic views of the active volcano, Mt. Yotei, is where you will find Niseko. With over 15 meters of the exquisite Japanese powder snow every season, there are endless opportunities to experience slopes which are in a league of their own. Niseko’s ski area is located on the seafront, which is one of the reasons for the massive annual snowfall. However, this also provides stunning views down the mountain.

With the lift pass, you get access to 31 different lifts. They take you up to over 60 different slopes, and 4 different large areas that are evenly distributed over all levels. A ski holiday to Niseko offers the less experienced also a unique opportunity to experience the legendary Japanese powder snow, so everyone in the family can get the same experience.
