Days 3-8: Skiing in Niseko
⛷️
Skiing in Niseko

Enjoy skiing some of the best mountains and trails in the world with a spice of Japan thrown into the mix.

Niseko United is comprised of four resorts on the one mountain, Niseko Annupuri (1,308m). 100km south of Sapporo, Niseko Annupuri is a part of the Niseko-Shakotan-Otaru Kaigan Quasi-National Park and is the most eastern park of the Niseko Volcanic Group.

Seasonal winds from the Eurasian continent pick up moisture over the warm currents of the Sea of Japan to form snow clouds and in turn some of the driest, lightest powder in the world.

With its rich variety of terrain and beautiful winter woods, Niseko offers an unforgettable experience for all levels of skier.

In addition to skiing, you may also wish to enjoy any of the following experiences:

  • Snowshoeing: Explore the picturesque winter landscape of Niseko on a snowshoeing adventure, suitable for the whole family.
