Rusutsu trail map guide

Who it suits

Good for mixed-level groups who want variety across several days.

Terrain to know

The 37 trails spread over West Mt, East Mt and Mt Isola; the three mountains make this a larger outing than a single-base hill.

How to read this map

Find Rusutsu Resort Hotel beside West Mt, then follow the lift links toward East Mt and Mt Isola. Plan the return across the mountain before heading to the far side.
