About Madarao
Madarao is a small, family-focused resort in northern Nagano that punches well above its size for powder quality and tree skiing. Tucked below Mount Madarao at just 1,382m peak, the resort's sheltered position traps heavy snowfall from the Japan Sea, producing thick, dry powder that accumulates between the dense birch and beech forest. It has cultivated a loyal following among powder-seeking families and intermediates who appreciate the relaxed pace, affordable lift passes, and uncrowded runs that characterise this quietly exceptional resort.
