Kiroro Peak Japan

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and have to give a big shoutout to our three instructors who were brilliant

Kiroro Peak is an absolute pleasure to experience. From the outstanding kindness of the staff to the spotless organisation, spanning everything from transportation and room service to ski lessons…every detail was handled with precision.

The F&B offerings were impeccable : special thanks to Chef Gabriel, Maki and the whole restaurant team for treating us with exceptional plates everyday.

The ski instructors team is truly outstanding! Heartfelt thanks to Mersila, Boyan, Eden for their expertise on the snow, Gilbert for coordinating the lessons and his warm greetings every morning and Martine from the ski shop…your positive energy made our day on the mountain a pleasure.

Even when the slopes had to close due to bad weather condition, the team pivoted seamlessly, organising yoga, Pilates, and trekking for the guests.

The nightly events added a wonderful touch to the atmosphere, thank you Batu & Loïc.

This level of efficiency and gregarious service is a testament to the leadership of General Manager Eva, whose influence clearly shines through the entire resort operation.

I recently completed my second stay at Club Med and would like to share detailed feedback on my overall experience, with a particular focus on snowboard instruction as well as the broader resort team.

Starting with snowboard instruction, I had lessons with Cai over five days, which provided strong consistency and continuity in learning. He is a patient, responsible, and mature instructor with clear depth in both technique and teaching. His approach was calm and structured, creating a safe and supportive learning environment. Safety was consistently emphasized, and he reinforced good habits and awareness on the slopes.

Cai managed group lessons effectively despite varied riding abilities. He made a clear effort to cater to each individual, ensuring no one was left behind while allowing stronger riders to progress. His feedback was clear and actionable, and his demonstrations were easy to follow, making it easier to translate instruction into actual improvement.

The progression from SB2 to SB3 was well structured under his guidance. He introduced more advanced elements in a controlled and engaging manner, helping build both confidence and control. He was also very obliging in taking videos for students, which was helpful for self-review and identifying areas for improvement.

I also had exposure to King for 1 day, who brought a more technical perspective. He explained techniques in detail and provided specific guidance on correcting stance and body positioning. His advice on preparing for future snow seasons added a useful forward-looking dimension beyond the immediate lessons.

Although I was on snowboard lessons, I would also like to highlight ski instructors Monty and Marusa, whom my friend trained with in Club 4. Both were patient and structured in their teaching, with a good balance between drills and free riding, which supported both skill development and enjoyment.

Beyond the slopes, the resort team contributed significantly to the overall experience. Rakesh, the F&B manager, ensured smooth operations and maintained good quality across dining services. Chef Gabriel was attentive, and the food quality and variety were excellent. Maki-san also stood out for her consistently warm and welcoming demeanor, which added a personal touch to the dining experience.

At the front desk, Take-san was helpful, efficient, and solution-oriented. His responsiveness made interactions smooth and reassuring. Batu, the events manager, was friendly and engaging, contributing positively to the overall atmosphere of the resort.

I also attended yoga sessions with Alice, who was professional and friendly. The stretching class was well conducted and highly recommended to stretch after skiing for faster recovery. One area for enhancement would be to incorporate foam rolling into the sessions, which would further support muscle recovery.

As this was my second stay, I naturally compared it to my previous visit. While the overall quality of instruction and service remains strong, I did notice the absence of the previous CDV, Tatiana, whose energy and presence significantly enhanced the après-ski atmosphere during my last stay. That level of vibrancy felt less evident this time, although it may also be due to the current CDV, Eva, being on leave during my stay.

Overall, the stay was positive, with strong highlights in the quality of instruction and the professionalism of the staff. The snowboard coaching, particularly from Cai and King, provided a solid foundation for progression. The resort team across F&B, front desk, and activities contributed to a smooth and welcoming environment.

There are some areas where the experience could be further enhanced, such as expanding recovery-focused activities and strengthening the après-ski atmosphere. However, these are relatively minor compared to the overall quality of the stay.

In summary, this was a well-rounded experience with strong instruction, attentive staff, and a supportive environment for both learning and enjoyment. I appreciate the efforts of the team and look forward to future improvements.

Amazing resort. Definitely a must go. In fact, many of the guests are annual repeats, some as many as for the last 10 years. I had the chance to learn from Milos, one of the Snowboard instructors. He was clear, detailed, and consistently push to get better by focusing on the techniques. Bcus of his coaching, I progressed quickly from Green to Black slopes in less than 4 days. Super proud and thankful for the amazing experience. Will come b.

Direct access to slopes from hotel. Can rent equipment direct from the resort. Cosy and warm inside, good view of slopes from bar and theatre area. Beginner friendly, experienced coaches teaching snowboarding and skiing. Enjoyed company of G.Os King, Mersila, Jay, Yukari, Velko, Milos, Cai and Batu. Rooms are decent enough for sleep, which is really all you need it for. Higher end facilities like Ofuro, Yoga room, gym are present, along with laundry facilities. Party area separate from rooms, good noise isolation. Very clean and warm inside. Special thanks to Mersila, Jay, Yukari and King who make us come back every year.
