History
The resort was once run by Chuo Alps Kanko Co., Ltd. In July 2019, that company spun off three businesses, including Komagane Ski Resort, to establish Chuo Alps Resort Co., Ltd. It was then sold to Ina Resort, a subsidiary of the Cross Project Group that operates Ina Ski Resort, and the management was handed over accordingly. This highland ski area has long drawn skiers not only from the local area but also from neighboring prefectures such as Gifu, Aichi, and Shizuoka.
Access
The resort is in Komagane City, Nagano Prefecture, at roughly 35.74 degrees north and 137.89 degrees east, on the highland southeast of Mount Kisokoma. By car, the Komagane interchange on the Chuo Expressway leads conveniently toward the highland. By public transport, use Komagane Station on the JR Iida Line as a base and take a bus or taxi. Road conditions and access during the season can change, so check official sources for the latest guidance.
Best season
The main season is winter for skiing and snowboarding, and the resort has used artificial snowmaking to keep the slopes reliable despite the weather. With many gentle family-oriented runs, the winter holiday period is easy to enjoy for beginners getting used to snow and for families with children. Since the operating period may differ each year, confirm it in advance through official information.
