Niseko this week is a balmy 18 degrees C. As we see the back of winter, the days are getting longer, skies are perfectly blue and wildlife comes out of hibernation.

The Vale Niseko is open for summer. With amenities including the onsen and pool, its central Hirafu village location make it the number one spot to stay during the off season.

Niseko has a huge range of summer activities including golf, hiking, mountain bike riding, road bike riding, fishing or simple relaxation in the alpine air.

Niseko is blessed with a rich bounty of natural hot spring water which is as almost as much of a drawcard as the snow. Being able to soak your tired muscles and body in a 40C+ Niseko onsen (hot spring) after a long, cold day skiing is one of the most amazing things about Niseko.
