Niseko Area Ski Resorts
Niseko United
Niseko is made up of 4 interconnected resorts. The groomers in Niseko are long and offer fantastic views of Mt Yotei.
Coupled with plenty of off piste powder and excellent tree skiing terrain on offer for those looking to ski in the trees or powder for the first time or challenge themselves further.
Niseko has it all, a great resort to explore from December until early May with fantastic restaurants and cafes on or just off the slopes.
Rusutsu
Rusutsu can be found just 40mins drive from Niseko.
The terrain on offer across Mt Isola, East and West Mountain is perfect for first time skiers or snowboarders to those wanting to take on the many long tree lined groomers or head off into the well spaced tree glades for some fun. If you want to experience the trees or powder for the first time or progress your level then Rusutsu is ideal.
With excellent views of Mt Shiribetsu, Mt Yotei, Lake Toya and the Pacific Ocean on a clear day & plenty of Japanese character, it’s a real favourite among locals.
