Best Runs in Nozawa Onsen

  • Hikage Course (Red): A brilliant tree-lined run that holds powder longer than anywhere else on the mountain thanks to its north-facing aspect and dense forest cover.

  • Yamabiko Course (Green): Wide, mellow slopes at the top of the Nagasaka Gondola make this ideal for building confidence and practising turns without the stress.

  • Uenotaira Course (Blue): A scenic intermediate cruise that winds through open terrain near the top of the resort with consistently good snow quality.

  • Schneider Course (Red): Named after ski pioneer Hannes Schneider, this steep pitch under the Nagasaka Gondola offers proper carving terrain and gets groomed to perfection.

  • Paradise Course (Green): Gentle rolling terrain that's perfect for first-timers to get mileage in without worrying about sudden steep sections.

  • Skyline Course (Blue): A long, flowing blue run from near the summit that racks up the vertical and lets you open up the legs on wide-open groomers.

  • Challenge 39° (Black): The steepest groomed run in the resort lives up to its name with a sustained 39-degree pitch that'll test your edge control.

  • Kandahar Course (Black): A proper mogul field that forms naturally under the lift, giving advanced skiers and boarders a serious leg-burner.

  • Yuki Tsubaki Course (Red): Technical tree skiing through natural terrain where you'll find stashes of powder days after a dump if you know where to look.
