Crystal Ski Holidays unveils Japan as new destination

Crystal Ski Holidays has unveiled Japan as a new destination, with holidays this winter to the resort of Niseko from December 10 to April 2.

The Tui-owned operator said Niseko has 51km of pistes and is known for an average of 15m of snowfall in a season.

The resort caters for all levels of expertise and offers the chance to relax at the end of the day in a traditional Japanese hot spring, known as an onsen.

Other activities include tobogganing, snowshoe walking, snowmobiling, reindeer sledding and snowcat skiing.

Crystal Ski Holidays features more than 100 resorts across Europe and North America and recently added Bosnia and Herzegovina to its portfolio for this winter.

Chris Logan, managing director, said: “Japan offers a unique and unforgettable skiing experience. Whether it’s knee-deep powder, beautiful bluebird days, a different culture or distinctive cuisine you’re after, you’re bound to make once-in-a-lifetime memories on a ski holiday to Japan.

“We’re so excited to be offering Japan as a new long-haul destination this winter, following our recent launch of Bosnia and Herzegovina as a new, budget-friendly destination for something closer to home.”

Flights are available from Heathrow, departing on Saturdays and Wednesdays.
