At the southern end of the valley is Sun Alpina, then to the linked resorts of Hakuba 47 and Goryu-Toomi and on to the Olympic ski resort of Happo-One, situated in the heart of Hakuba. Heading up to the northern end of the valley, is Iwatake, Tsugaike, Norikura and Cortina which are all excellent. Hakuba Happo (pronounced Happo-on-eh) Averages 12 metres of snow per year and is steep, wide and open with modern excellent facilities, spectacular views, and operates into May! Hakuba is located at the foot of the Hakuba Mountains, belonging to Chubu Sangaku National Park in Nagano, Japan. It is an internationally recognised destination for both Summer and Winter sports.Hakuba is part of the Nagano prefecture of Japan, which, if you can remember that far back, played host to the 1998 Winter Olympic Games. Hakuba hosted the ski jumping event (the stadium still stands) as well as the super G and some downhill skiing. The Olympics left a good infrastructure in the area, making it easy to go on day trips to other areas. They also left a thriving après ski scene in Hakuba, where there is no shortage of international restaurants, bars, and traditional Japanese onsens (natural hot springs). Ski and snowboard terrain is varied across the resorts but it’s generally well suited to families, beginners and riders who like groomed runs or bumps. Freestylers are also well catered for with extensive terrain parks.
