Ski the world's lightest powder, where winter never fails.
Each season, the mountains of Hokkaido, in northern Japan, receive between 10 and 20 meters of snow, providing unparalleled skiing conditions for freeride enthusiasts.
Japanese forests, gentle slopes laden with powder, a zen atmosphere and hot springs upon arrival... a ski safari in Japan is much more than just a trip: it's a ritual that L'Or Blanc renews every year with rigor and passion.
👉 If you're a freerider at heart, Hokkaido should be on your list.
For the first three days, head for the must-see classics of western Hokkaido.
Niseko is the most famous ski resort in Japan. With nearly 15 meters of snow per winter , it is considered a veritable powder factory.
Kiroro , more secluded, is a hidden gem. Thanks to our freerando approach, you'll discover world-class routes there , far from the crowds.
Rusutsu , more fluid and wild, offers perfect terrain to warm up between Japanese forests and immaculate streams.
The second part of the trip takes us further inland, where skiing becomes a raw and wild experience.
Furano : the most challenging area in Hokkaido, with its technical forests, significant elevation changes , and powerful runs.
Asahidake : an active volcano, served by only one cable car. No groomed runs , only guided off-piste skiing in the heart of nature.
Tokachidake : without ski lifts, this area is reserved for ski touring . Legendary powder days to experience far from any human tracks.
Installed at the foot of the slopes (true ski-in / ski-out), this high-end hotel welcomes you in spacious rooms with volcano views.
We taste a exceptional buffet breakfast, perfect to start a day of riding. Theoutdoor onsen, bordered by snow, is a must-see.
Situated in the heart of the Furano area, this base camp offers direct access to the slopes.
The establishment offers impeccable services, and a indoor & outdoor onsen to relax after an intense day.
Cozy atmosphere, comfort, Japanese efficiency: everything is there to experience total immersion.
