Shiga Kogen Yakebitaiyama Ski Area

From the 2,000-meter summit—home to beautiful wooded courses that make the most of the natural terrain—you can enjoy a magnificent panoramic view stretching all the way to the Northern Alps. The un-groomed "YAKEBI VALLEY," "YAKEBI WALL," and "YAKEBI COAST" courses offer an enticing powder experience for intermediate and advanced riders, with safety managed by the ski patrol. An additional 17 courses provide a wide variety of options for everyone from beginners to experts. The "Olympic Course," which has hosted international competitions, is a particular favorite among advanced skiers; on holidays, we highly recommend the "First Track" experience, allowing you to ride the slopes before the resort officially opens. It is the perfect opportunity to enjoy freshly groomed runs or, on snowy days, high-quality powder snow. We are also continuing to offer the e-SNOW BIKE activity introduced in recent years; riding these electric snow bikes through the wooded courses offers a unique, extraordinary experience distinct from skiing or snowboarding.
