Enjoy a refreshing cruise on the main Hikage slopes in summer
The Hikage slope, one of Nozawa Onsen's signature ski areas, is the setting for summer skiing. Enjoying summer skiing at the bottom of a ski resort close to the hot spring town is convenient and easy, making it a great option even for beginners
The next-generation snow mat "PIS LAB," laid along the Hikage Forlift, allows you to enjoy skiing with a feel close to real snow. The course is a generous 30m wide and 500m long, making it exhilarating for high-speed turns with large turns. With a maximum slope of 27°, it offers plenty of challenging runs. It's also ideal for practicing carving turns and freestyle tricks
In addition, Nasuki Park has a beginner-only course approximately 40 meters long, so even those new to summer skiing can feel at ease. There is also a corridor-controlled training area approximately 100 meters long and 10 meters wide where you can practice short turns with poles. Furthermore, there is a dedicated mogul lane approximately 50 meters long and 5 meters wide with 15 mogul turns! It caters to everyone from families to serious skiers
In addition to the numerous courses, Nasuki Park at the foot of the mountain is packed with athletic equipment and playgrounds that will captivate even young children! On rainy days or especially hot days, the air-conditioned Nasuki Room is a convenient option. The indoor athletic facilities and ball pit allow children to play safely and comfortably within sight, which is another attractive feature
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
