Hotel La Neige

Located in the heart of Wadano forest just moments from the Happo-One ski lifts, Hotel La Neige offers an elegant alpine retreat combining European sophistication with traditional Japanese hospitality. Nestled amongst peaceful woodland in one of Hakuba’s most exclusive neighbourhoods, the hotel provides a quiet and relaxing atmosphere while still being within easy walking distance of local restaurants, bars, cafés, and the vibrant village centre. Its picturesque forest setting creates a true mountain escape, particularly during winter when the surrounding trees are blanketed in snow.

Originally established in 1967, Hotel La Neige has long been regarded as one of Hakuba’s most iconic boutique luxury hotels. The property beautifully blends western luxury with Japanese architectural influences, creating a warm and timeless alpine ambiance throughout the hotel.
