    Perfect Location
    Loads of Space, great view of the family run, perfect location with a very easy walk to the lift, very friendly organised staff. Ski hire under the building was very convenient. Great little coffee booth just outside.

    A Wonderful ski experience
    We loved staying at the Alpen Ridge. The location at the bottom of the lifts was perfect. The apartment we had for 2 couples was very comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Having the locker room downstairs meant it is virtually ski in, ski out. The staff were all friendly…

    Good evening. We are visiting Niseko for the first time in late January 2019. What is the best way to get to restaurants etc - is it mostly in walking distance ?.
    Hi, Thank you for your enquiry. Alpen Ridge is situated in the heart of Hirafu surrounded by restaurants and shops within walking distance making the location very convenient for you during your stay. Kind regards

    Is housekeeping provided?
    Yes they do a full clean (linen & bathroom) every 2-3 days but not daily. As its a self contained apartment it works really well.
