The entire Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route will open on Tuesday, April 15th, 2025. The 2024-25 season saw a great deal of snow falling due to the benefits of La Niña, and there is plenty of remaining snow on Mt. Tateyama. Mt. Tateyama looks like it will be even more lively this spring. We plan to open from Tuesday, April 15th to Sunday, November 30th. Many backcountry guide club tours are also being invited. If you're planning to visit Mt. Tateyama this spring, be sure to check it out!
What is Tateyama in spring?
Mt. Tateyama in the Northern Alps is lined with 3,000m-class mountains. The overwhelming heavy snowfall and majestic terrain create endless lines, and the exhilarating feeling of sliding from the peak of the 3,000m will captivate any slipper. It is said that the year for the skiers begins at Mt. Tateyama and ends at Mt. Tateyama, as they can ski earlier than anywhere else and skiing late.
The season has arrived for backcountry fans from all over the country to gather in Tateyama!
The "WEB tickets" for approaching Tateyama are already sold out by April, and tickets from the Toyama side. The Nagano side has a small number of seats left at the end of April, making it popular. Online tickets will be on sale from May 1st onwards, starting from April 1st, so if you're interested, don't miss out.
The official Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route website lets you know the local situation in almost real time.

◆ Tateyama 1 night 2 days (with Raicho Onsen) | COLOR SPORT CLUB
At this time of year, there was an amazing amount of snowfall! Mt. Tateyama (3,003m) has feminine beauty that has been worshiped as one of Japan's three sacred mountains, and a masculine sword that looks like an iron fortress, and a base of 2,500m is placed and slid into the 3,000m Tateyama mountain range! The skiing routes expand and you'll be visiting again and again!! At this time of year, the long-awaited reopening around Tateyama Murodo is finally here. At this time of year, when skiing and snowboarding were allowed, they tried to enter the mountains in the final powder. There are still very few visitors, so we ski all around Tateyama, almost all rented out. Let's go into a big arc! A different kind of fun about snowy mountains. Let's aim for the sunny weather rate and fresh snow that are unique to this time of year!!
