Lift passes can be purchased at the ticket offices at the base of each ski resort. In Hirafu head to either .Base or the Mountain Centre. If you are in Annupuri head to the sales office under the Gondola. In Niseko Village, passes are sold near the Gondola next to the Hilton or at Green Leaf Village. For those in Hanazono head to the ticket sales office in Hanazono 308 for your lift passes.
The guest services or concierge team at your accommodation can most likely organise these passes for you as well.
With such great value out of one lift pass, the Niseko United All Mountain Lift Pass is an essential Niseko buy. Visit the stunning natural gullys and bowls in Annupuri, exit the gates in Grand Hirafu or hit the park in Hanazono. The possibilities are endless.
