Hakuba Ski: 2 days backcountry skiing in Japan

Situated in a mountain basin in the northwest of the Nagano Prefecture, Hakuba is one of the premier backcountry skiing destinations in Japan!

Receiving more than 11 meters (36 feet) of snowfall each year and serving as a central hub for 10 different ski resorts, Hakuba is the perfect place for our 2-day skiing adventure.

The fun begins shortly after we meet up at the gondola station at 8 am on the first day of the trip and begin making our way up the mountain. From the gondola station, we will hike another 30 minutes to 2 hours (depending on where you want to go) until we reach the top of a nearby mountain.

Once at the summit, we’ll enjoy the view over the the surrounding valley before putting on our gear and skiing back down into the valley.

Depending on the time, we may even be able to head back up the peak once more and ski down a different route.

The following day, we will meet at the same time, head up a different mountain and enjoy another phenomenal day of backcountry skiing.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this unforgettable 2-day backcountry skiing adventure in Hakuba!
