As of July 1st, 2008, Hilton
Hotels has taken over the management of the tower hotel, now renamed
Hilton Niseko Village. Extensive renovations have been done including
the lobby, guest rooms, and restaurants. This is part of our ongoing
commitment to provide the ultimate experience possible to all guests
travelling to Niseko, whatever the season.
Niseko All Mountain ski area provides the
widest variety and most complete skiing destination for any level skier
in Japan. There are terrain and lifts to suit every level of skier or
snowboarder and a wide variety of tree skiing and backcountry terrain
accessible through the peak gates.
There truly is
something for everyone at Niseko Village, including comfortable beginner
terrain, a large expanse of intermediate terrain and night skiing for
the more experienced, and some of Japan’s only off-piste skiing for the
wildly adventurous. Stunning views, unbeatable snow conditions and
uncrowded slopes make Niseko Village a "must ski" destination.
Beginner Terrain
The base of our ski area provides guests with some
terrific beginner and learning terrain. The courses are well maintained
and allow guests to progress to a high level very quickly. We are
excited to be developing Niseko’s premier beginner terrain and learning
area with two magic carpet moving walkway lifts which transport skiers
and boarders up the hill safely and comfortably. This area is located
within metres of Hilton Niseko Village and includes the Niseko Kids
Adventure Park and Indoor Centre.
Intermediate Terrain
Long winding trails as well as a good selection
of runs above tree line allow guests who want to improve their technique
or ride at their own pace to enjoy this resort to its utmost.
Advanced Terrain
Niseko Village’s fall line is loved by advanced
skiers. Numerous treed runs, natural half-pipes, and powder areas
enhance the experience of those looking for a challenge.
   
|
Powder Skiing |
| |
Niseko’s reputation speaks for itself. Some
of Japan’s only lift accessible off-piste skiing awaits you at
Niseko Village. With over 15 meters of annual snowfall, take a
deep breath, and shoot for the gaps! Niseko’s premium inbounds
powder run ‘Superstition’ is by far the favourite playground for
local powder hounds. |
|
Groomed Skiing |
| |
Niseko Village grooms a good portion of its
skiing terrain which allows all levels of skiers to enjoy the
feeling of perfectly maintained corduroy under their feet. The
quality and quantity of Niseko’s snow allows us to prepare
immaculate skiing for guests’ everyday of the season. |

regular courses with Hokkaido Powder Guides as the operating instructor.
