Annupuri Resort - Family Friendly and Arguably Niseko’s Best Sidecountry

A popular hill but less busy than Grand Hirafu, Annupuri Resort has arguably the best sidecountry terrain. It is also the only other resort on this mountain to offer night skiing, and its gentle slopes are ideal for those wanting to get some quiet laps of an evening. For families, there is a dedicated area for small children where they can enjoy tubing and sledding and older children can have a go at building their own igloo!

Annupuri is easy to reach. Those who have an All Mountain Lift Pass can ski over from the other three Niseko United resorts by taking the top chairlifts and skiing across and down into the resort. There are also frequent free shuttle buses which run between the four resorts, making it easy to access each one by road if the top lifts are closed.

The resort also has one of the longest ski seasons in Niseko, with the slopes often open from late November through to May!

Top tip: Why not book a guide to find out how to access Moiwa Resort directly from the slopes of Annupuri?
