We stayed for a week in a one bedroom slope view apartment over the Chinese New Year. It was a last minute booking so we did not have much choice as it was the only room available through SkiJapan. I usually book my accommodation online but as this apartment does not have its own booking website, I had to book... More

I researched long and hard to find an apartment which was ski-in, ski-out as we had young kids and Alpen Ridge did not disappoint. It is located right beside the Family Run at Niseko and in the base of the complex is the Ski School and Ski Hire, as well as the locker room for the apartments. There is no... More

We stayed at the Vale 2 years ago and opted for Alpen Ridge this year. As previous reviews - you can't beat the location, the apartments are spacious and comfortable with everything you need, the ski lockers are very large (a lot more convenient than the ones in the Vale). The lack of coffee shop or restaurant did not bother... More

This apartment-style accommodation was just perfect. It is a true ski in/ski out resort ideally located at the base of Hirafu next to a ski lift. Location could not have been more perfect for everything! Short walk to all restaurants and ski lessons/rental on first floor of complex. Apartments themselves were very modern and nicely fitted out. Fully furnished including... More

If traveling to Niskeo with a family, this is the closest thing to perfect. The property is well managed, and though they're rented condos, staff comes in to tidy up the units everyday! The convenience of ski-in/out, ski shop+rentals+ski school in the basement, and a snack shack just outside out the door are perfect. And the prices are MUCH more... More

Thank you for your review. We are very glad to hear you had another enjoyable stay at Alpen Ridge and were happy with the services provided. Regarding the ski rental, it is not a problem to collect the rental gear from 4pm the day before your rental starts, however collecting it before this time does incur additional charges. Again, thank... More

If real "ski in-ski out" matters then Alpen Ridge has got to be the best spot to stay in serviced apartments at Niseko. These apartments are now about 5-6 years old but still close to cutting edge modern après-ski Japanese style. The Ski Japan people manage the block and do a great job. Apartments are big, self contained, heaps of... More

This place is ski-in, ski-out and perfect for families with kids. The locker rooms are spacious and the cafe downstairs is a god-send for people who have to wait for slower members of the group. Facilities are excellent and it has one of the best locations in Niseko.
