Five ski paradises that match the frost with fun.

Lakshmi Sankaran

Reasons to go: Pillowy snow, without a whiff of high winds, and longer winters make the Hokkaido region an all-time ski favourite. Niseko, Sapporo, and Kiroro have the most snow around expansive luxury resorts with world-class amenities. Stay: In the Niseko United ski region, the Annupuri mountain range links four resorts, where slopes go from gentle to black runs. For a family holiday, Club Med Kiroro Grand has stellar children's facilities, in addition to a hot pot restaurant and an outdoor onsen. Club Med's other property, Kiroro Peak, limits travellers to 12 years and above. Ski season: December to May. Beyond the slopes: For après-ski, Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono organises an immersive Nikka whisky tour. The spread of omakase-style fare at Sushi Nagi is a highlight at Higashiyama Niseko Village. A Ritz-Carlton Reserve. At Ikoino Yuyado Iroha, traditional onsen soaks are a must. Local tip: Plan a day trip to Otaru, a port city with canal views, great sake and artisan culture. Getting there: Major airlines in New Delhi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai fly non-stop to Haneda Airport and Narita Airport; from there, fly direct to New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido or take the direct bullet train from Tokyo Station to Shin-HakodateHokuto Station.
