Hakuba Backcountry Skiing

Hakuba Backcountry Skiing The Adventure in the Japanese Alps

For experienced snowboarders and skiers, Hakuba backcountry skiing is a must-do activity. Some of Japan's greatest ski and snowboard terrain can be found in the Hakuba Valley, which is tucked away in the breathtaking Japanese Alps. Internationally qualified guides and a local guide who speaks Japanese lead our fully hosted, small-group guided ski adventures, which combine excellent tree skiing with lift-accessed backcountry ski touring and splitboarding.

Following a day of skiing searching for perfect snow, the adventure continues off the slopes with cultural activities including sampling Japanese food, touring Hakuba village, and relaxing in our hotel's onsen spa.

Why Choose Hakuba for Backcountry Skiing

Hakuba offers an unmatched combination of terrain, culture, and snow:

  • Local Culture: Our assistant ski guide, a Hakuba resident fluent in Japanese, introduces guests to the valley’s hidden gems, offering a unique cultural perspective beyond skiing.

  • Uncrowded Slopes: Compared to more famous Japanese resorts, Hakuba’s backcountry offers quieter, less-trafficked runs, perfect for powder hounds seeking solitude.

  • Accessibility: Hakuba is easily reachable from Tokyo via train or bus, making it an ideal combination of convenience and adventure.

  • Year-Round Alpine Beauty: Beyond winter, the area offers hiking, onsens, and traditional villages, allowing guests to explore Hakuba’s stunning landscapes at any time.

  • Customizable Adventure: Whether you want a mix of lift-accessed terrain or a full backcountry experience, itineraries are tailored to skill level, snow conditions, and personal preferences.

  • Safety and Support: Guides carry avalanche safety equipment, offer route planning, and ensure all guests are well-prepared for challenging terrain.
