With the first snow on Mount Yotei in early October and Niseko turning white by the end of the month, winter is on its way.
Whether you’ve already booked your accommodation or are still planning your trip, now is a great time to start filling your holiday with things to look forward to. Niseko might be famous for skiing and snowboarding, but there’s plenty to enjoy beyond the slopes.
From exploring quiet forest trails to racing across snowy fields, here are four winter activities to add to your stay.
Step away from the busy slopes and discover Niseko at a slower pace. A guided snowshoe tour takes you along snow-covered trails, with time to take in the scenery and enjoy the quiet of winter.
It’s a great option for families and friends who want to explore together. No experience is needed, and your guide will help you get comfortable before heading out.
Put Niseko’s famous snowfall to good use and build an igloo together. This hands-on activity is a fun choice for families with children as young as four, with a guide showing you how to pack and shape the snow to suit the day’s conditions.
Held at The Orchards, it’s an easy addition to your holiday, with free transfers available for guests staying with MnK.
Gather your crew, hop aboard an inflatable banana boat and hold on as a snowmobile pulls you across the snowy fields.
Expect bumps, turns and plenty of laughs. It’s a fun way to spend time together away from the chairlifts and add something different to your winter holiday.
Ready to take the handlebars? Explore open snowfields on a guided snowmobile tour, with mountain views and stops along the way for photos.
Children aged 7–15 can ride as passengers with an adult, making this an exciting option for families as well as friends looking for an adventure beyond the slopes.
Plan a rest day, try something new or give the whole family an experience to remember. These are just a few of the winter activities our team can help arrange during your stay.
