Retreat.

A cozy chalet and annex building with four vintage-style self-contained apartments, renewed with warmth and comfort in mind.

Hide away in a charming mountain loft or a traditional Japanese tatami apartment. Enjoy stunning mountain landscapes, cook gourmet meals with family or friends, play board games, or relax into comfy cushions to share stories, special moments, and ski and snowboard adventures.

Located among trees in a serene natural retreat, La Colina is a place of tranquility and relaxation.

In summer, enjoy BBQs, golf, hiking, trail running and mountain bike trails, with easy access to Nojiriko Lake. In winter, our front-door ski resort at Madarao Tangram delivers world-renowed powder snow (madapow), leisure, and unforgettable memories.

After a day of exploring, unwind with a visit to the local onsen or discover the cozy cafés, bars, and restaurants nearby in Madarao and Myoko villages.
