Hakuba Ski Lift Passes

BUY A VALLEY PASS OR NOT?

In Hakuba there are 2 types of lift passes: 1 . Multiday/multi-resort Hakuba Valley lift pass. 2 . A lift pass exclusively for the resort you are at. Cost wise it is substantially cheaper to NOT use the Valley pass and just buy a day pass for whichever resort you happen to be at on the day, or even better purchase online to get a discount. However most people prefer to get the Hakuba Valley lift pass as you can put it in your pocket and forget about it- no need to go and get a new ticket every day. The Valley shuttle buses are free for Valley Pass holders, but there are many non Valley buses that are free for everyone. It is worth noting you can buy the Valley Pass at the ticket window at the ski resorts so it is not necessary to buy in advance.
