Hakuba Valley is a vast area dotted with 10 ski resorts, spanning three cities and villages at the foot of the Hakuba mountain range in the Northern Alps, with a string of 3,000m-class mountains. The world is now gazing at Hakuba Valley, where everything is world-class, the snow, slopes, and scenery.
Have you heard of the all-mountain season tickets, commonly known as "volleyball tickets," where you can enjoy the fullest of Hakuba Valley? This is a lift ticket that allows you to freely ski all the ski resorts over a long season. This volleyball ticket picks out five skiers who have enjoyed the 24-25 season. I was especially taught about the appeal and how to enjoy it from a family perspective or a woman's perspective.

It was snowy this season, and I was able to skate the powder every week in December. Thanks to this, my second-grade son can ski powder at high speeds, so his parents can enjoy it even more with all their might! Hakuba Valley has a large mountain, so the distance can be slippery and you can improve your technical and physical strength. I remember most of the course, so you can play in various ways when it snows or doesn't.
Thanks to volleyball tickets, there are professional skiers nearby, and I can talk to the editor-in-chief of a certain magazine (lol), so I have many encounters that I wouldn't normally imagine. From mid-March, when the inbound tourism has settled down, eating out is one of the fun things to do in Hakuba Valley.

I'll be coming to Hakuba Valley for now, then I'll think about it

With volleyball tickets, it's great that you can take your time and feel at ease, such as not being able to ski depending on your health and schedule, or traveling to ski resorts. I have to slip! The psychological aspect of releasing yourself from this pressure is very big. I'm a snowboarder, but I've been enjoying skiing recently, and thanks to volleyball tickets, I can easily change gears. This season, my biggest memory was that while the children were participating in the tournament, adults alone were able to enjoy powder on the Hakuba Norikura 11 line without worrying anything.
After finishing the skiing, I often go to "roundAbout" in front of the station. I stretched my way out and the hot springs in Kotani Roadside Station were also good, and the food was great! I especially like the rice cooked in the oven and it's delicious.

The "volleyball ticket community" expands as you ski every week

This year, I also went to ski resorts that I had never been to before. Even though the other slopes were busy, I was able to enjoy powder mostly on the private side. If you go there you will discover something! It was especially fun to hold several session events, mainly with volleyball ticket members. Hakuba Valley has endless ways to play, so your dreams are widened.
After skiing, I enjoy drinking flat white at my favorite cafe, Calico, Echoland, looking at the footage and photos taken that day, and chatting about various things. In the high season, Hakuba Valley feels like it's overseas, so it feels like a bit of a trip. It's been a really fun season as we share the same passion with the members who visit Hakuba Valley every week with our volleyball tickets!

It's a different way to deal with it than when I came to sightseeing.

Skiing has become a part of my lifestyle as I can ski in the first place in the morning or in my spare time. It's my daily routine to spend a few hours before work to practice telemark, change clothes in the car and go straight to work. If you've finished skiing and have time, feel warmed up at Cortina's "Beautiful Hot Spring"! You can ski the entire mountain according to your mood and schedule that day, so the range of schedules and practice has greatly expanded.
You won't ski all day long, and you can enjoy it while watching your health little by little for just a few hours. We are facing the snowy mountains for a long time with a completely different distance from when we had a one-day ticket. This year, I was happy to be able to ski on the same slope as my alpine skiing friends on the telemark.

While working at the inn, raising children, and skiing, I often only ski on an hour, so I try to use my free time to ski. With volleyball tickets, I'm really grateful that I can easily ski without worrying about the weather, time, and lift tickets.
Also, Hakuba Valley has a long season, so no matter how good the snow is, guests who come to Hakuba Valley will skitter the good snow on days when crowds are expected, giving me the peace of mind to take a break (lol).
My favorite cafe is Kakka. I always look forward to the sweets and coffee after the skiing is over!
