Nagano, Japan

Find ski buddies in Hakuba

Hakuba Valley sits beneath the Northern Alps of Nagano and hosted alpine events at the 1998 Winter Olympics. Its resorts line the valley, from Happo-one and Hakuba 47 to Goryu, Iwatake, Tsugaike and Cortina further north, so there's something different for every day of a season. Every winter brings a large international crowd of instructors, chefs and lifties alongside Japanese locals, and the village has a lively bar and restaurant scene. Lots of riders explore the backcountry too, so finding partners you trust is part of life here.
