The most popular course is the Hotel B Course, which offers moderate slopes and slope changes.上For advanced skiers, we recommend the Champion B Course, which offers views from Lake Nojiri to the Sea of Japan.This is a full-fledged long course where official tournaments are held.In addition to this, the hotel beginner course along the parking lot is perfect for beginners and families.This is a ski resort where both adults and children can enjoy skiing to the fullest.

For children who have not yet made their debut on the slopes, please use the “Chibiko Hiroba,” which is surrounded by a net for safety.Visitors can enjoy making snowmen and sledding.
