READ MOREIn Hakuba
Hakuba may be skiers heaven but between May and October, it is transformed into a tranquil retreat. Green replaces white and you find yourself in a picture-postcard Eden. In the ‘Green’ season Hakuba becomes one of Japan’s premier Summer destinations and a natural magnet for outdoor sports enthusiasts. From the window of One Happo, you have the ultimate vantage point over the valley that has now become green and lush. Paragliders sweep down the mountain and hikers dot the alpine trails below. One Hakuba and Phoenix One are cocooned in natural forestry. Take a bath outside, savouring the mountain fresh air and the stillness of your surroundings. Or perhaps you will take a picnic and relax on the shores of Lake Aoki, or stroll to one of the many hotsprings in the village below? As the evening approaches, fire up the barbecue, pour a glass of wine and reconnect with yourself and loved ones. Sometimes the loveliest pleasures are the most simple.

What better way to acquaint yourself with the Northern Alps? Located a short walk from the chalets, you can fly immediately in tandem with a bilingual instructor. This is an experience that you will never forget – again, highly recommended.
