Hakuba Happo-One Snow Resort

Was there during the Xmas holidays. We stayed at a lodge 2 minutes walk to the gondola. Rentals at Woody rentals is a minute from gondola. But one of the days was snow dump with strong wind and gondola was closed for an hour. It opened late and the super snake queue started. Was almost 1 hour wait to get on. All the chair lifts have long queues are many lifts lower ain’t opened. We had powdery snow but with rain on one day and another day with strong wind cum snow. Very crowded!

Hakuba Happo-One is very well-organized and user-friendly. The resort features accessible slopes for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced skiers. Everything is clearly marked and easy to navigate. They also offer professional lessons with close guidance

Nice resort. Affordable tickets. Snow was great and crowds weren’t too much, although not high season yet. Decent eating establishment. Not too many runs, but good enough for a day.

This was our first ski field for the trip and at the time there wasn't much coverage so we needed to catch the gondola up and ski the top half of the mountain. The kids loved the forest run and I would say this is more beginners to intermediate skiers/boarders.

The summer hike to the pond is amazing! View, fresh mountain air and lovely temp! Highly recommend the 3 cable cars and gondola to hike. However, the pond is still frozen though in June. Do prepare w rainy weather outfit!

visited 4 different resort and this on the last day was the worse reached early at around 9 am, purchased tickets and ready to ski but was told there was some delay and the gondola up will only open at 10 am but still after waiting for a few hours unable to ski as the excuse they gave is that it was not open due to strong winds. If not opening why allow people to purchase tickets. unable to refund too??? ultimately made us wait few hours in their restaurant sitting there for ntg waiting for the ticket to be wasted. at last no ski at all bc operating time closes extremely early and ticket wasn’t refunded. do not recommend happo-one but other ski resorts are great 👍

This stunning resort is surely my favourite in the whole valley. It's hugely popular, however it never felt 'crowded' on the slopes or at the lifts. It does have many beginner-friendly options, but is my favourite resort for intermediate-advanced runs. If you're lucky enough to get clear weather, taking the lifts to the very top of Happo-One rewards you with what must be the best views in the whole valley. I can hardly put into words the spectacle up there, and you are challenged with an advanced course on descent. Incredible resort. I'd ski here all the time if I could.

Beautiful experience. We aimed to go to Happo ike but the weather was harsh and the last part of the 🚠 was closed. It was the last weekend of the season, so next year we'll try again 😉

Great resort and snow, DO NOT get the pork belly rice bowl on after one of the lifts I believe I got food poising. Vomited and high fever. Even after going to the doctor for influenza came back negative.

There is a good variety of runs here at Happo one the lines weren't huge on weekdays but tended to be larger the only criticism I have of happo one is that the conditions are quite variable a lot of the days it snows and visibility is limited but on some occasions you get a great sunny day with great snow conditions.

Very large and beautiful resort! This resort is one out of nine in the valley. It is also the largest of the nine and the site of the 1998 Nagano winter Olympics. It has 26 lift and a gondola that takes you from the bottom to the middle of the mountain. The views are very nice and the terrines varies depending on where you are on the mountain. I came during the season so half of the mountain was already closed but I still had fun nevertheless. The staff working the ticket counter all new enough English to communicate with me, which was very nice. They must get a lot of foreigners visiting. I also came on a weekday which I highly recommend because during the weekdays the mountain's almost completely empty. There are some fast chairlifts and some slow chairlifts, and the gondola is completely sealed so when you're inside you do not feel the cold.

Gorgeous and smooth run down any path! The lifts are easy to navigate and each of the levels, and the trails are kept well groomed. The food is amazing at each of the stations I went to. Signs in English as well. :)

Well run ski resort with nicely groomed trails, comfortable lodges with amazing food selection and easy to get in and out of- worth the trip!

Out of all the resorts in the area this one probably has the highest elevation. When it was raining in the valley there was snow up near the top. There were plenty of moguls up there so if that's your thing then check it out. There are plenty of runs for all levels of experience and they are long too. What's nice is the shuttle service in the valley lets you hop from one resort to another and it's super easy to use. The only downside is the shuttle service will drop you off in the morning and doesn't start picking people up until after lunch time. Vail Resorts Epic season pass gives you 5 days in Hakuba Valley and that was the main incentive to visit here. I had a great time and will definitely come back in the future.
