Niseko for beginners (ski) or Rusutsu?

May I know which ski resort in Niseko is suitable for beginners?

Hanazono, Hirafu, Niseko Village or Annupuri?

or Rusutsu?

I have just learned skiing and I would like to transition from wedge to parallel. I'm still planning to take some additional English ski lessons.

I'm looking forward to those long and wide flat slope which I can learn and fall on my own without getting into any danger. Not too steep slope.

Niseko village will be better

Hello Mariya

While all Niseko resorts offer runs suitable for beginners I would suggest that the best part of the mountain is Annupuri. It offers the quietest slopes with wide, open, mellow groomers.

In recent years a lot of beautiful accommodation has sprung up in Annupuri which is feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of Hirafu. If it is the more lively resort atmospheres of Hirafu or Niseko Village that appeal then Annupuri can still be accessed via the Niseko United shuttle bus or by traversing from the top Hirafu / Niseko Village lifts, although this is only recommended for advanced and confident intermediate skiers and snowboarders.

Rusutsu is also a great resort for beginners offering lots of easy terrain and pristine slopes which often have lower traffic than those in Niseko.

You may also want to consider Furano which has the highest proportion of beginner train, milder conditions and with free lift passes for children is particularly popular for families.

I hope this helps!
