Hakuba Goryu & Hakuba47 Mountain
The landform the resort sits on — the shape of the hill beyond the pistes, how steep it gets, and how it stands among the mountains we publish.
Broadly one hillside, leaning to the north-east.
Where that vertical sits among the mountains we publish
926 m, more than 24 of the 29 mountains on JapowDB.
The mountain
遠見尾根 (Tōmi-one)
- Above it
- 五竜岳 (Goryū-dake) 2,814 m
- Landform
- A ridge running down off Goryu-dake, and the gondola climbs it. The peak above is welded tuff sitting on a body of biotite granite. The ski area is a long way below that, on the ridge's lower shoulder at 1,676 m.
- Rock
- The same ultramafic rock as Happo next door: Ordovician to Silurian serpentinite, around 450 million years old, under the top of the lifts, with loose fan and talus below it. Two neighbouring resorts standing on one ancient belt.

That ground is outside the ski area. It is not patrolled.
Measured
01
Which way it faces
Faces east.
Most of the mapped runs fall away toward the east.
02
How steep it gets
Its steepest pitch measures 42.6°.
Its steepest tenth is steeper than 26 of the 29 mountains here that carry pitch data.
23.5° the steepest tenth of runs
03
How varied it is
Its runs range from 6.7° to 26.0°.
Half of them are gentler than 15.1°. Each mark is one run.
That spread is wider than 21 of the 29 mountains here that carry pitch data.
04
What grows on it
Mostly deciduous — broadleaf woods and larch. They stand bare through the winter, and you can see a long way into them.
