DOWNHILLDownhill Course
We opened the Mountain Bike Downhill Course together with the opening of the Summer Gondola. The authentic Downhill Course utilizes the ski resort’s slopes to create a 3,000 meter long track with around 475m variation in altitude, suitable for intermediate and advanced riders.
This mountain bike track is an exclusive downhill course created on the slopes of the ski resort.
Rocks are numerous, and the slopes are steep, so this is a track designated for riders who are intermediate or above in both experience and skills. (Not recommended for beginners.)
If you are not confident in your level of skills or experience, we strongly recommend riding together with an instructor or an experienced/skilled rider.

FLOW TRAILFlow Trail Course
While the Downhill Course is aimed at skilled riders, the Flow Trail is a course that can be enjoyed by a wide range of users, from kids to adults, and beginners to experts.
Its distinctive feature is the winding shape made using the ski resort’s slopes, allowing you to glide naturally across the banks and waves like flowing water – hence the name. The banks and turns in particular make it feel close to skiing, so this is a track that skiers and snowboarders will enjoy with delighted surprise.
The 2,500 meter long Flow Trail is a course that lets you feel the exhilaration of mountain biking in Niseko’s vast natural environment.
