Ikenotaira Onsen trail map guide

Who it suits

For intermediates and families staying in Myoko who want a quieter hill with a long top-to-bottom cruise.

Terrain to know

Alpenblick lists 16 runs: 5 easy, 8 intermediate and 3 advanced. The top-to-bottom cruise is about 4 km; the steepest groomed run, Alpen Dynamic, reaches 29°. Kaname is an ungroomed, hike-to area that needs avalanche gear.

How to read this map

Start from the Kayaba base, then take the Shirakaba Capsule Pair or the Ikenotaira Quad up the hill. Check which numbered runs return to Kayaba; Kaname has no lift and is outside the groomed area.
