A winter resort with 19 lifts and 60 runs. It is divided into three areas: Davos Area, Taro Area, and Pine Beak Area. They all make use of a base layer of artificial snow, which means you can ski there until the end of March. You can also ride their popular Snowcat up Mt.

I visited with Ocean Ski Club and learned to ski here. Its a great place for people of varying levels of ability and appears to be kid-friendly and safe. Id definitely recommend.

緩斜面から急斜面までカーブやうねりのない真っすぐで平らなバーンが揃うので練習には持ってこいなスキー場です。軽井沢からは少し離れていることもあり、まじめに練習をしにくる人が多いようです。そのためか、スキー場全体が秩序だっているような気がしました。

リゾートコースということで難易度は低めのフラットなコースです。そのため、追加料金はかかりますが乗用カートの乗り入れもできるのは良いと思います。場所柄もあってスタッフの質が高いのも良いですが、それ相応に価格も高いので、そこは要注意です。ただ、高い分だけ客数も少ないので落ち着いてプレイできるのは良いと思います。

Nagano Areas

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
