Beginners Niseko United – Annupuri/Grand Hirafu/Hanazono/Niseko Village
Niseko United is a perfect ski resort for beginners. There are chairlifts and/or moving carpets at all base stations for first attempts. In the lower area of the ski resort, the majority of the slopes are very easy and wide. Some of the links between different areas of the resort are on intermediate slopes. However, these can also be tackled by more advanced beginners. Only the slopes directly below the summit are not suitable for beginners. A wide selection of ski schools provides lots of options for getting started. Some ski schools have their own practice areas with moving carpets. There is even a separate Priority-Line for clients of the GoSnow ski school, which avoids queuing times during busy periods in Grand Hirafu.
