Niseko Annupuri Powder Skiing Peak Laps in Niseko Japan

Mount Niseko Annupuri, at a height of 1308m, is home to the 4 resorts, Grand Hirafu, Hanazono, Niseko Village and Annupuri. The summit of Mount Niseko Annupuri, or more commonly known as ‘The Peak’, can be reached by a short hike from the top single chair King Lift #4 in Hirafu. Long powder runs can be enjoyed from the peak, with options to venture further into the backcountry. We highly recommend hiring a guide as the peak is accessed via Niseko United’s backcountry gates.

Experience the adventure and enjoy the untouched powder on a lift assisted powder day with an experienced guide. Local knowledge is key so get in touch and we’ll source the right experienced guide able to safely find the lines in the best conditions for your level.
