Hakuba Goryu Snow Resort

白馬五竜スキー場

Nagano · Chubu

Hakuba Goryu rises above the Escal Plaza base lodge at the southern end of the valley and is lift-linked to the neighbouring Hakuba47 area, so a single ticket covers both faces of the same mountain — Goryu's wide groomed Toomi and Iimori slopes on one side, Hakuba47's steeper tree-lined runs on the other. The Telecabine gondola climbs from the base to the Alps Daira mid-station, where a terrain park and a long beginner boulevard sit beneath the Goryu peaks. Lifts usually run from early December into April, with dates set by snowfall each season; the base lodge holds an onsen that non-skiers can use.

Why we picked it

The Goryu and Hakuba47 pairing gives two quite different mountains on one pass, and sits far enough down the valley to stay quieter than Happo on a busy weekend.
