Enjoy a refreshing cruise on the main Hikage slopes in summer
Hikage Slope, one of Nozawa Onsen's signature slopes, is the stage for summer skiing. There's no need to take the Nagasaka Gondola to Kaminodaira Plateau; you can enjoy summer skiing at the bottom of the ski resort close to the hot spring town, which is convenient and easy, and even beginners can easily try it
The "PIS LAB" course, which is laid out along the Hikage Four Lift, is 500m long and a generous 30m wide, making it perfect for making big turns. With a maximum slope of 27°, it's a challenging course, and even in summer it feels very similar to snow, including the sense of speed, allowing you to enjoy carving turns and freestyle tricks
Additionally, Naski Park is equipped with a beginner-only course measuring approximately 40m in length, so even those new to summer slopes can feel at ease. There's also a corridor-regulated training area measuring approximately 100m in length and 10m in width, where you can practice short turns with poles. There's also a mogul-only lane measuring approximately 50m in length and 5m in width, where you can make 15 mogul turns! It's perfect for families and serious skiers alike
Enjoy Nozawa Onsen during the green season
The summer slope is located on the Hikage slope at the bottom of the ski resort, but if you take the Nagasaka Gondola to Kaminodaira Picnic Garden, it's very cool even in the middle of summer and you can relax while looking at wildflowers and other flowers
If you want to spend the green season in Nozawa Onsen actively, we recommend mountain biking. The dynamic course that makes use of the slopes of the slopes is about 10km long and is very impressive. You can ride as far as Hikage slope, which is about 700m above sea level
Speaking of Nozawa Onsen, the main attraction is the hot springs. A tour of the village's 13 outdoor baths offers a charming summer atmosphere. It's also fun to stroll around the hot spring town in a yukata robe
