A JOURNEY WITH ROOM TO BREATHE
GALA Yuzawa's model plan. Connecting arrival, skiing, and enjoyment of the surrounding area. Please adjust the number of days and time allocation according to arrival time and traffic.
Arrive directly connected to the station, rent and change clothes. If it's your first time, ski according to your lesson reservation time. After descending the mountain, we will move to our accommodation in Echigo-Yuzawa and spend time enjoying hot springs and local food.
If you want to enjoy another day of GALA, check the schedule for that day. If you want to have a rest day, include an outdoor bath or a meal in town. If you are heading to another mountain, please arrange another bus and ticket before changing your destination.
Collect your luggage and head to Nakanoya or Ponshukan, making sure you have plenty of time before the train. Check the crowd and meal reception, and move to your reserved seat on the way back. Even if you're on a day trip, take some time in town after changing clothes and returning your equipment.
We will arrange the opening days of the facility, meals and transportation conditions for the accommodation, and transportation to and from the facility in advance. When it snows or the service is canceled, find ways to spend your time other than skiing. This is not a reserved product or a confirmed flight schedule.
Check each place and the journey between them.
Learn about the atmosphere of the destination from the scenery at the time of the photo shoot.
