Situated in the Nagano Prefecture in Japan, the wonderful Shigakogen Mountain Resort is a must for all skiers and snowboarders. With over 83km of slopes to choose from, visitors and residents will have a hard time getting through all of the slopes during their stay. There are a whopping 58 ski lifts to ferry guests up to their preferred slope, and elevations of between 1,335km and 2,307km, leading to a varied amount of surfaces to ski on.
With 41km of easy blue runs, 30km of intermediate red runs and 12km of difficult black runs, there is something here for everyone to enjoy. Beginners can take their time on the more gentler slopes, whilst those feeling more adventurous can make the most of sharper descents, as well as the valley run and snow park for freestylers. For those wanting to extend their skiing day, night skiing is on offer too.
There is a vast range of delicacies on offer for guests to try whilst staying at the resort. Restaurant highlights include La Stella Alpina, Kamoshika Ethnic Beer House, Hakko Beer and Restaurant and for a much lighter bite, try the Crumpet Café in Yamanouchi-machi.
