Shiga Kogen Mountain Resort Lift Ticket in Nagano

Japan's largest, all-inclusive Shiga Kogen lift pass for 18 ski resorts

Shiga Kogen Mountain Resort is Japan's largest snow resort, boasting 18 ski resorts spread across vast snowfields reaching over 2,000 meters above sea level. With 46 lifts and gondolas densely connecting each area, a single lift ticket allows you to freely hop between slopes and enjoy a full day of skiing. Gliding through snow-covered ridges and forests, the breathtaking view of the pristine snowfields from 2,000 meters above sea level is truly breathtaking.
The season is also long, with abundant snowfall and stable conditions typically lasting from late November to early May. From gentle, wide slopes for beginners and first-time skiers and snowboarders to long runs, steep slopes, and park terrain for experienced skiers, the resort offers a wide range of courses, allowing you to choose the right course for your skill level. Family slopes, ideal for practicing with children, are also scattered throughout the resort, making it a popular family destination.
Shiga Kogen is comprised of five major regions: the Okushiga Kogen area, the Yakebitaiyama area, the central area centered around Ichinose and Takamagahara, the Kumanoyu area, renowned for its snow quality, and the Yokoteyama and Shibutoge areas. Each area offers a different slope profile and scenery, creating a unique experience, almost like hopping from one ski resort to another.
If you're a skier or snowboarder who doesn't want to spend all day on just one slope, or if you prefer to "tour" through various courses, the Shiga Kogen lift ticket, which connects 18 ski resorts, is the perfect choice.
