Nice building, remote location.
Building great, new, clean, very warm, good water pressure.
Location great if you only plan on skiing … otherwise.. a bit remote. Lift chair Sakka 3 is about a 6min walk up hill to the chair lift. It’s not ski in/ski out.
there’s a bus to gondola, but it doesn’t run very late. I think 5:30pm was the last bus. After that you need a taxi or your car. Taxi was very hard to get.
The sister hotel (gondola hotel)had a shuttle, but apparently we didn’t book the right package and they wouldn’t give us a ride up the hill. With no taxis avail, it made for getting luggage to our hotel in a bizzard extremely difficult. Which was kinda sad since their van was literally sitting there and we even offered to pay them for the ride.. nope. They said they weren’t insured.
So if you stay here, plan accordingly and have arrangements or you’ll be stuck.
Our last hotel Le Bocage actually were kind enough to drive us to this hotel. And they even have a shuttle service to their cool diner, Tap room at Panorama Hotel. Just ask for Dom.
Communication with apartment Hakuba was poor. I emailed them several times prior to arrival but didn’t get a response. There is no luggage storage if you’re wondering. You can store it at the sister hotel Gondola hotel. But good luck getting to apartment later in the day, during peak season.
Only a few places to eat in walking distance. Do try the food truck! She’s wonderful and there’s an igloo and bbq grill
