Hakuba Cortina will open on Saturday, 12 December 2026 for the 2026-2027 winter season. The season is planned to run until Monday, 29 March 2027. Last season it opened on 13 December.
For 2026-2027, every lift ticket the resort sells is a joint ticket with Hakuba Norikura. You can ride all lifts and ski all courses at both resorts.
Hakuba Cortina sits in the Hakuba area, about 3 hours 45 minutes from Tokyo. Take the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Nagano Station, then the Alpico bus (about 1 hour 45 minutes).
