Ikenotaira ALPEN BLICK Ski Resort — Attraction in Myoko

Recently stayed here for 3 nights, and had the best time. Service was amazing from the start, we missed our train there and needed to change our shuttle bus pick up time, which they were so lovely about and were quick to respond and arrange via email (we didn’t have a working phone line to call). Everyone at the resort was lovely and friendly, from the beautiful front desk staff to the ski rentals.

The ski slopes lead directly down to the resort entrance, which made popping in and out of the hotel (for the toilet, to eat, for a rest) very convenient, especially as newbie skiers. The snow fields were also very well maintained, regularly being flattened out for walking etc.

We looked forward to breakfast and dinner every day (buffet style), for dinner there were chefs frying fresh tempura/karaage in front of you, and personal hotpot if you wish, which were lovely options after a long cold day in the snow.

Even at the very end, we were delivered back to the station via shuttle, where our lovely driver also alighted to make sure we didn’t struggle with getting train tickets back.

We had the best time at Alpen Blick, and would absolutely recommend this place to others! Would love to...

The resort itself is ok. Unfortunately I am in a period of not too much snow. Off piste, tree run is not quite good at the moment. This place supposed to be packed with snow normally. The design of resort is fine. Enough beginners to intermediate runs for a day or two. Have a nice park for park players. Some runs very good for ground tricks. Food in restaurant is fine and reasonably priced.

Remember to bring a ticket/ lift pass holder because it is not using electronic pass. It is old...

A highly underrated resort that is completely empty midweek. I have experienced some of the best pow here in all my trips to Japan, and when it does snow, you can get fresh tracks till the last run of the day at 4pm, yes that's right! While many flock to Seki or Madarao on pow days, it leaves the competition for fresh track at Ikenotaira non-existent. The off-piste is not as steep as other Myoko resorts, but this means you can bomb full speed between the trees trying to keep the speed...
