Hakuba Cortina
白馬コルチナスキー場
The northernmost powder paradise in Hakuba Valley, famous for tree runs and deep snow, with a European castle-style hotel at its base as its landmark.
Hakuba Cortina ski resort is located in Otari Village. Being on the Sea of Japan side, it receives some of the heaviest snowfall in Hakuba Valley. Foreign skiers regard it as a paradise of powder and tree runs, and some areas open for managed off-piste skiing. At the base, the Hotel Green Plaza Hakuba is styled after a European castle and serves as the resort's landmark, with a hot spring inside. The resort is connected to the neighboring Hakuba Norikura Onsen ski area, and a single ticket covers both. The resort is not large, but the snow is excellent and it is uncrowded. Getting there: about 35 minutes by bus from Hakuba Station, or by shuttle from Minami-Otari Station.
