Happoone

Japanese: 八方尾根 - はっぽうおね
Happoone

This ridge extends eastward from Mt. Karamatsu (2,696 meters) in the Ushiro Tateyama mountain range on the border between Nagano and Toyama prefectures. The slopes of Mt. Happo (1,974 meters) in the middle of the ridge are known as Nagano's leading mountain ski resort. There are many lifts, but there is also a ropeway that stretches about 2,000 meters from the foot of the mountain to Usagidaira (1,397 meters), and most of the descent is done from here. It is in operation in the summer, and from Usagidaira you can see the entire Hakuba Sanzan of Mt. Shirouma, Mt. Shakushi, and Mt. Yari. Hakuba Village Happo (Hosono) at the foot of the mountain is where the first private lodging in the prefecture was established.

長野・富山県境にある後立山連峰(うしろたてやまれんぽう)の唐松岳(からまつだけ)(2696メートル)から東方へ延びる尾根。尾根の中ほどにある八方山(1974メートル)の斜面は長野県の代表的山岳スキー場として知られる。リフトも多いが、山麓(さんろく)から兎(うさぎ)平(1397メートル)まで全長約2000メートルのロープウェーがあり、大部分はここから滑降する。夏も稼動し、兎平から白馬(しろうま)岳、杓子(しゃくし)岳、鑓(やり)ヶ岳の白馬三山の全容を眺めることができる。山麓の白馬(はくば)村八方(細野)は県下で最初の民宿が始まった所である。
