Winter · Hakuba ValleyPrivate Evening Snowshoe Tour
Snowshoe into the winter forest at dusk — headlamps on, stars out, and the mountains all to yourselves.
Hakuba after dark, all yours
As the valley lights come on below, the winter forest turns silver and silent. An evening snowshoe tour is Hakuba at its most magical — fresh snow underfoot, headlamps lighting the way and, on clear nights, a sky full of stars.
Fully private and gently paced, it is a beautiful way to end a winter day — no experience needed.
