Overview

As its name 'Blanche' (French for 'white') suggests, Blanche Takayama is a ski resort adorned with pristine white snow, symbolizing hope for the future. Situated at an altitude of 1,800m, it boasts a magical silvery landscape adorned with beautiful frost-covered fir and larch trees. From the summit, a breathtaking 360-degree panorama stretches across the Northern Alps, Southern Alps, and even distant Mt. Fuji, sure to inspire awe in all visitors. Thanks to a favorable climate with a 90% clear-sky rate and state-of-the-art artificial snow machines, high-quality snow can be enjoyed throughout the season. The wide, groomed slopes are perfect for drawing expansive long turns. Beginner-friendly courses like the Fir Tree Rime Course (2,100m) and Kids Fun Course (1,600m) allow even novices to safely enjoy long cruising. Specifically, the Kids Fun Course features mini-pole and wave zones, designed to help children improve their skills while having fun. For intermediate to advanced skiers, there's a variety of dynamic runs, including the exhilarating Giant Course and the challenging moguls of the Expert Course. Families will appreciate the convenient access from the parking lot to lifts and facilities, as well as the on-site nursery and 'Wanpark,' one of Japan's largest kids' parks. Beyond skiing, guided tours exploring the tranquil forests of 'Ura-Blanche' with snowshoes or alpine walkers are also popular. You can follow animal tracks and experience a magical winter nature distinct from the ski slopes. Restaurants offer a diverse range of meals featuring local ingredients, including menu items that have won 'Gele-Shoku Battle' (ski resort food battle) awards. The 'Mitarashi Dango with Nori' (sweet soy glaze dumplings with seaweed), highly praised in reviews, is a must-try. Create special winter memories at Blanche Takayama, where you'll find the finest snow quality, stunning views, and a safe, secure environment.
