The abundance of snow from the 2009|10 winter has paved the way for a perfect summer skiing base in Niseko.

At only an hours hike, locals are heading over the back of Mt An’nupuri to get their summer turns in.

The landscape up the top looks like a moonscape however the spectacular views over Sea of Japan and onsen at the bottom make it a truly awesome Japanese skiing experience.

Niseko this week is a balmy 18 degrees C. As we see the back of winter, the days are getting longer, skies are perfectly blue and wildlife comes out of hibernation.

The Vale Niseko is open for summer. With amenities including the onsen and pool, its central Hirafu village location make it the number one spot to stay during the off season.

Niseko has a huge range of summer activities including golf, hiking, mountain bike riding, road bike riding, fishing or simple relaxation in the alpine air.

Niseko Alpine Developments [ Nisade ] will be in Hong Kong from May 12th to 16th.

This is the last chance to speak directly with us in Hong Kong and secure the ultimate in ski-in ski-out apartments in The Vale Niseko at 2009/10 seasons prices.

The Niseko property market is bouncing back and our all important Hong Kong visits let you deal with us directly, gaining valuable information from the property developer themselves. The amount of ski-in ski-out inventory available throughout Niseko is dwindling; this may be the only chance to get in and secure before the next winter season rush and increased pricing.

In conjunction with Meikle & Associates Agency, Nisade is hosting a casual evening at the Crown Wine Cellars, Hong Kong, Friday May 14th, 7am to 10pm. Numbers are limited so contact jonathan@nisade.com direct to secure your place.

Prizes are also on offer from luxury Niseko accommodation specialist Niseko Alpine Accommodation [Nisade] on the evening.

Nisade’s remaining ski-in ski-out apartments will be entering their final sales stage soon.

With the ending of the 2009/10 ski season (and what a season it was!), Nisade will be retracting any unsold stock from the market on June 30th 2010, to be re-priced for the coming 2010/11 winter season.

Summer is a fantastic time to view the “other side” of Niseko; the greenery, the crisp alpine air, the golf and mountain hiking. We see a lot on potential buyers in town during this period noting a great opportunity to view the burgeoning summer market.
