Some useful information on transfers is below
For the ultimate in flexibility and comfort, a private transfer is for you. This is an airport to front door service and can be booked for any time of day or night. When arriving at Gondola Chalets you will be greeted by our dedicated concierge staff (link to About GC – Services), ready and able to answer any questions to make your Niseko holiday one to remember.
Please request more information with your reservation for details on private transfers.
During the winter season there are a number of bus companies that service Niseko. It is advisable to book your bus transfers in advance so that the bus company can accommodate your party of guests and your waiting time is minimised. A particular advantage of booking your transfer from the airport is that your bus will wait should your flight be delayed, which is often a likely occurrence in the peak snow season.
The Bigruns Whiteliner (timetable below) bus service stops adjacent to Gondola Chalets for your convenience.
