A stay at Hakuba White Fox begins with a simple idea: you have your own base in the valley, and everything you want to do in Hakuba can revolve around it.

You have a private chalet, a car arranged for your stay, and a concierge who knows your plans before you arrive. Vive — the restaurant and day spa — sits close by, ready for long lunches, quiet afternoons, or dinners when you don’t feel like cooking. The mountain is always in view, but how and when you reach it is entirely up to you.

Mornings can start with first lifts and guided powder, or with coffee, floor-to-ceiling views, and no rush at all. Afternoons can mean one more lap on the hill, a long soak, a massage at Vive, or a walk back to a warm house and a deep bath.

Evenings can be centered around a fire, a stocked kitchen, and people you actually want to spend time with, or a luxury dining experience.

Transfers, cars, guides, restaurant bookings, spa times, groceries — these aren’t puzzles to solve while you’re here. They’re the details Hakuba White Fox has already put in place for the stay you asked for.

You decide the rhythm.

Arrival

You arrive in Hakuba in the late afternoon, when the mountains are starting to fade into the dark.

Your shuttle is already booked through Hakuba White Fox. The driver meets you at the station, knows precisely where you’re staying, and you’re on the road without working out directions or addresses. You sit back and watch the valley open up.

At your chalet, the shuttle pulls into the driveway. The car arranged for your stay is already parked outside: winter-ready, sized for your group, and waiting for tomorrow instead of asking for attention now.

Inside, the house is warm and quiet. Underfloor heating takes the edge off the day straight away.

The kids find their room. You spot the deep bath or soaking tub and mark it for later.

Fire on. Glasses out. The mountains disappear into black while the chalet settles around you. The trip feels underway, not pending.

Morning – First Tracks

Overnight, it snows.

You wake early, look out, and know exactly what the morning is for. There’s no scramble to get going. Your gear is in the dry room where you left it. Boots are warm. Skis and boards are lined up, ready.

The guided powder day you booked through the White Fox concierge is already locked in. While you pull on your layers, your guide rolls into the driveway: no meeting point to reach, no calls about where to park, no last-minute changes.

You step outside, load your skis into the van, and go.

The morning is about what you came for: snow in front of you, a local leading you to the right terrain, and your head free from all the other moving pieces that usually go with a day like this.

Afternoon – Off the Mountain

By early afternoon, your legs have had enough.

Back at your chalet, you drop your gear in the dry room and slow everything down.

You head to Vive, the White Fox restaurant and day spa. The times were booked through a WhatsApp message on the hill, so there’s no phoning around, no “can you fit us in?” You just walk in at the right time.

When you head back to your chalet, the light has shifted again. Some of your group are home. Some are still out. Everyone’s day fits alongside everyone else’s without forcing a shared pace.

Evening – Hot Pot at Home

Evening belongs inside.

Someone opens the fridge and pulls out a bottle. Someone else starts lining ingredients up on the kitchen island — vegetables, meat, broth, noodles.

The kitchen is built for real use, not just show: counter space where you need it, sharp knives, solid cookware, enough plates and bowls, and proper glasses. People can stand around, cook, pour, talk, and move without getting in each other’s way.

The pot goes on. Steam builds. Kids drift between their room and the living area. Adults move between the fire and the stove. The meal just comes together as people pass through.

Everyone is at the table. Bowls fill. Stories from the day come out in pieces. Outside, it’s full winter. Inside, it feels like exactly the evening you had in mind when you booked.

What Stays With You

Guests come to a Hakuba White Fox stay for different reasons: deep snow, a big family trip, time with friends, or a slower week in the mountains.

You decide how hard to ski, how long to stay, and how late to sit by the fire. You look after your own time.

Hakuba White Fox makes sure it works.
