Rusutsu: skiing and where to stay

Decide whether to start at West Mountain near the Resort Hotel or enter from the East Mountain side. With beginners, keep the first day around gentle hotel-side runs. For a longer outing, check lift connections before continuing to Isola.

These are three mountains within one ski resort. Choosing a different hotel does not mean booking a separate ski area. Use the official map to understand the connections.

Consider the Resort Hotel for convenient access to skiing, dining and baths. Consider the Westin for more room to spend time indoors. Compare the exact room category, meals and route to the slopes alongside the photographs.
