One particularly recommended selection from the lunch menu is the special seafood doria, made with an abundance of shrimp and other seafood. In winter, skiers can come here straight from the slopes and enjoy a meal with their ski boots still on.

    We stayed at Chalet Christiania for four nights in Feb 2019. The Chalet has a traditional feel, comfortable and warm, up the end of the valley where it’s peaceful. It’s a 50m ski/board from the...

Nagano Areas

around-area-map

Nagano prefecture is an exciting mix of mountains, hot spring monkeys, and preserved Edo history. At the heart of the Japanese Alps, Nagano is one of the country’s most popular destinations, whether in winter for its snow sports and the much-loved Jigokudani Monkey Park or in the warmer months for discovering the undulating hills on foot. For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
