Rusutsu

Rusutsu is one of Hokkaido's best ski resorts, known for its light powder, uncrowded slopes and welcoming atmosphere. Just 90 minutes from New Chitose Airport, it's an excellent choice for first-time skiers, families and experienced riders looking for quieter runs than nearby Niseko. Beginners will appreciate the wide, gentle terrain, while more advanced skiers can explore tree skiing and powder stashes across three interconnected mountains. Off the slopes, Rusutsu offers family-friendly attractions, including an indoor wave pool, snow activities and comfortable ski-in/ski-out accommodation, making it an easy and memorable ski holiday for Australian travellers.
