NISEKO, JAPAN

Niseko has earned its reputation as a premier ski resort thanks to its abundant light, dry powder snow from November through April. Our confidence in this destination is well-placed, as Niseko has been recognized as the best ski resort in Japan, achieving a clean sweep at the World Ski Awards in recent years. It has claimed titles for Japan’s best ski resort, best ski chalet, best ski hotel, and best boutique ski hotel, making it unique in being the only resort in Japan to dominate these categories so thoroughly.

 

After an exhilarating day on the slopes, nothing beats soaking in a natural hot spring, and Niseko offers a wide range of options for this relaxing experience.

VERBIER, SWITZERLAND

Combine a sunny location, epic scenery, exciting terrain and a lively nightlife, you have Verbier, the main resort in Switzerland’s largest ski area, the 4 Valleys. The altitude makes it a safe bet for late season ski trips to the Alps. There are some 100 lifts serving 400km of snow-sure slopes. The ski is excellent and not to mention scenery spectacular. Verbier provides reliable late-season snow for freeskiers thanks to its extensive snowmaking installations especially on the lower slopes. Upper slopes on the Mt Fort glacier is blanketed with consistently good natural snow as well.

Visiting Switzerland at Easter time means one will witness the festive occasion celebrated with much fanfare. Shops and restaurants, which are concentrated in the streets leading off Place Centrale and up to the Médran gondola, are decorated with colourful bunnies and eggs.
