Hakuba Happy New Year

Overview

Hakuba is one of Japan’s most famous ski destinations, offering incredible mountain scenery, a huge variety of terrain and some of the best powder conditions in the country. On this New Year trip, you’ll have 4 full days to enjoy the Hakuba Valley, with Hakuba Goryu and Hakuba 47 right on your doorstep. With everything from wide, groomed pistes to challenging off-piste terrain and deep powder, there’s plenty to keep both beginners and experienced skiers and snowboarders entertained.

Our accommodation is located in Hakuba Goryu, giving you easy access to the Goryu and 47 ski areas. With the local shuttle bus network, you can also easily explore the other resorts across the Hakuba Valley, giving you the freedom to discover a different mountain or ski area during your stay. Whether you want to ski every day, take a day off to explore Hakuba, or simply enjoy some time in the mountains, the choice is yours.

On New Year’s Eve, there will be a countdown event featuring live performances and fireworks, followed by an after-party at our local bar. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the New Year with the group and enjoy Hakuba’s lively atmosphere.

With 4 full days in Hakuba, plenty of opportunities to explore the Hakuba Valley, and a big New Year’s celebration, this is a great way to spend New Year in the mountains.

Looking forward to it!!

Easy access to the slopes with walking or a bus. Festival was family-friendly, full of fun entertainment. The bar afterward was great as well! Slopes were in good condition up top, especially. It is a great place to ski for beginners or advanced people, too. Staff, as always, did a great job.

Amazing trip. The vibes were so good and the guides made it so much fun. Evening party on Saturday with the fireworks, torch skiing, live band, and nightclub was a huge highlight. Even without great snow, this was the best TSC trip I’ve been on yet!
