Hakuba Valley Pass

There’s some awesome news for 2016/17 ski season with the new Hakuba Valley Pass – an integrated electronic gate system that covers all resorts in the Hakuba Valley. Now when you arrive at your Hakuba Accommodation you can buy an electronic chip that will be used to access lifts at whichever resort you decide to go to for the day. No longer is there the need to line up daily to exchange your multi-resort ticket and receive your daily lift pass.

This is what Hakuba valley is saying:

“From the beginning of this season, Hakuba Goryu, HAKUBA47, Hakuba Happo-one, Hakuba Iwatake, Tsugaike, Hakuba Norikura, Cortina resorts in Hakuba Valley will implement a new ticket and gate system for skiers and riders to access the lifts with one pass. This will greatly improve customer’s experiences at these snow resorts. For the 2017-18 season Kashimayari, Jiigatake, Yanaba plan to install the new ticket and gate system making Hakuba Valley snow resorts even more accessible.”
