8 lesser-known ski spots to visit in Asia

Ski season will soon be upon us which means thrilling snow adventures await in some of Asia’s most wintery locales. While some of these places require a bit of travelling, the pay-off is definitely worth it. Expect less crowds and a more culturally immersive experience at these eight lesser-known destinations where you can experience the thrill of the slopes (and possibly relax your muscles in a hot spring after).

Zao Onsen, Honshu, Japan

Good for… snow monsters!

On the slopes: Due to its location in the north of Japan’s main island, Zao Onsen enjoys a similar abundance of snow to Hokkaido, earlier than its southern counterparts on Honshu. There are 25 trails of mixed terrains, with the longest run being over 9km long. The snow monsters (juhyō), or frost covered fir trees at the top of Mount Zao are now becoming a major draw, and if not skiing, tourists can experience the awe-inspiring landscape via gondola, or stop at Jizo Sancho Station to walk amongst them. A good mix of alpine hotels and pensions are available.

Off the slopes: The Tohoku region is not as widely touristed as some other parts of Japan, so it retains an authentic old-school charm. When not skiing, onsen-hop and immerse yourself in the local town and culture.

During the winter, dedicated buses run from Tokyo but can take up to seven hours. Instead, jump on a bullet train followed by a bus to arrive in just over three.

Changbaishan, Jilin, China

Good for… a shiny international ski experience with stunning views

On the slopes: A UNESCO Global Geopark, Changbaishan is a ski region that ticks all the boxes and is gaining popularity with both the local and international set. Long winters and heavy snowfall offer the perfect conditions to explore the variety of trails, with great family areas, intermediate groomed and tree runs, and some advanced options. The integrated modern resort offers a slew of ski-in, ski-out international brand hotels, from family-friendly Club Med to luxurious Park Hyatt.

Off the slopes: Heavenly Lake (Tianchi) is a spectacular crater lake at high elevation, all the more dramatic to marvel at when frozen in winter. There’s also Changbai Waterfall, adding to breathtaking scenery of this mountainous region. Guided snow activities such as snowshoeing and cultural experiences are also easily accessible, and for post-ski fun, Wanda Changbaishan offers plenty of distractions, from shopping to hot springs.

Getting there will require a flight into Bejing and a domestic flight that takes about two hours to Baishan Airport.

Nozawa Onsen, Honshu, Japan

Good for… an authentic and old-school Japanese ski experience

On the slopes: Nozawa Onsen is located in the northern part of Nagano Prefecture, the region known for hosting the 1998 Winter Olympics. Of these areas, Hakuba is the most popular, while Nozawa Onsen possesses a more relaxed and authentic ski village vibe. Over 30 runs and nearly 300ha of skiable area offer a healthy mix of beginner, intermediate and expert slopes, keeping mixed-ability groups happy. Deep snow runs flow straight into the heart of the village, offering a rare ski-to-town experience.

Off the slopes: The village is picturesque, with Edo period architecture and a long history of onsen culture. Sink into the culture through the rustic wooden soto-yu, or public bath houses – the perfect post-ski activity.

Nozawa Onsen is easy to reach from major cities like Tokyo and Osaka by a combination of Shinkansen and bus. In the winter there are also dedicated buses that run out of these cities for a more direct route.

Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do, South Korea

Good for… nature buffs

On the slopes: South Korea’s only ski resort located in a national park, Muju-gun is less crowded than Vivaldi Park and Yongpyong, and more moderate in size. At 1,530m, it hosts one of the largest commercial vertical drops in the country, along with 15 lifts and up to 35 runs. There’s a good mix of terrain for beginners and intermediate skiers, but Muju-gun is also popular with advanced riders. Different accommodation options include Hotel Tirol within Muju Deogyusan Resort, as well as pensions and guesthouses to suit every type of traveller.

Off the slopes: Take the gondola up to Seolcheon Peak for dramatic alpine views of the national park in winter. From Bandi Land to the Jeoksangsanseong Fortress and Meoru Wine Cave, there’s plenty to explore in the surrounding area.

To get there, fly into Seoul and take a high-speed train to Daejeon followed by a bus to Muju. The journey should take approximately two and a half hours. Another option is to take a three-and-a-half hour drive, which also makes it easy to get around Muju with its limited public transport options.

Sahoro, Hokkaido, Japan

Good for… families

On the slopes: Sahoro Ski Resort in central Hokkaido is great if you want an alternative to the crowded ski spots on Japan’s northernmost island, but don’t want to compromise on quality of snow. The crowd is more local and family-friendly, and eight lifts serve 21 mixed terrain courses, 75 per cent of which are beginner and intermediate. There’s Club Med Sahoro for the all-inclusive ski holiday, or Sahoro Resort Hotel for local flavour, both are ski-in, ski-out. A smattering of ryokan and self-catering stays also dot the area.

Even youngsters can enjoy the slopes in this area. Photo credit: Club Med Sahoro

Off the slopes: Brown bear observation tours offer the opportunity to view these wild creatures in hibernation, an experience unique to this area.

Sahoro is easy to reach from Sapporo as many of the resorts provide transfers that take just under three hours. Taxis also operate on a flat fee from the city out to the resort.

Chengdu, Sichuan, China

Good for … a quick ski break

On the slopes: It’s not every day that you get the chance to ski in giant panda country. But on Xiling Snow Mountain, just outside the city of Chengdu, you can do just that. The mountaintop is covered in snow all-year round, but mid-December to March sees the best skiing conditions. Take your pick from seven trails of varying difficulties, which add up to 10km of runs. There are domestic hotel brands and guesthouses to choose from, or the full-service Anantara to splash out at, and while there are fewer international tourists here than at ski resorts up north, local traffic is high on weekends and domestic holiday periods, so check before you travel.

Off the slopes: While the non-ski days away with tubing, sledding or snowmobiling in the snow park, or soothe tired muscles in the mineral-rich hot springs which dot the area.

To get to the mountain, buses run from Chengdu and take about three hours. Or cut that down to two and a half hours by taking a private car.

Hiroshima, Honshu, Japan

Good for… a truly local Japanese ski experience

On the slopes: Ideal for all ages and abilities, the Osorakan Snow Park in Hiroshima is one of the largest skiing destinations in western Japan. While modest in size compared to its northern counterparts, there’s a great variety of terrain at this resort, from the gentle beginner zone to slow, lazy declines; hair-raising long runs and exhilarating forest trails. Mount Osorakan is the highest peak in Hiroshima Prefecture, allowing for better snow and better views – on clear days you can even see the Sea of Japan from the summit.

Off the slopes: Sample regional Hiroshima dishes and mountain produce, visit rural historic villages or simply stay within the Family Plaza and have a fun-filled day tubing, sledding and snow rafting.

From Hiroshima, take an hour-long bus ride into Akiota Town followed by a free shuttle bus run by the resort. Hiroshima is easy to reach with the Shinkansen from both Osaka and Tokyo.

Elysian Gangchon, Gangwon-do, South Korea

Good for … a quick ski getaway near Seoul

On the slopes: Combine your South Korean trip with skiing at Elysian Gangchon Ski Resort, a small, modern resort northeast of Seoul. Besides being the only ski resort accessible by subway from Seoul, it is compact, family-friendly and ideal for quick trips for beginner and intermediate skiers. Rental gear is available, so you won’t need to worry about over-packing for city and ski.

Off the slopes: Indulge in the local cuisine, wander the scenic Bukhangang riverside or visit Nami Island – a small, crescent-shaped island in the middle of the Bukhangang River, where scenes from the 2002 Korean hit Winter Sonata were filmed. The island is extremely picturesque – beautifully landscaped and famous for its tree-lined avenues and art installations.

It’s easy to reach the resort from Seoul by taking a train from Cheongnyangni Station to Baegyang-ri Station, which takes an hour and 20 minutes. From there, a free shuttle bus will take you to the resort.

Singapore’s new wave of steakhouses to sink your teeth into

Singapore’s carnivores are in for a treat. The city’s latest crop of steakhouses is serving up prime-time dining with inventive techniques, premium cuts and plenty of personality, while long-time favourites are refreshing their menus with bold, meaty upgrades. From all-American ribeyes to the rarest of Japanese wagyu, these restaurants are giving steak lovers every reason to loosen their belts and tuck in. Here are six sizzling spots to get your next protein fix.

Rare cuts: 54° Steakhouse

Named after the temperature of a perfect medium-rare steak, 54° Steakhouse celebrates beef in its most elemental form – grilled with finesse and kissed by flames.

The restaurant’s exclusive Black Market Beef is not to be missed. Photo: 54° Steakhouse

Premium cuts are sourced from the world’s finest producers, from Black Onyx Angus by Rangers Valley in New South Wales to Japanese Sanchoku and Satsuma wagyu, which are prized for their marbling and flavour. But the undisputed showstopper is the restaurant’s exclusive Black Market Beef from Rangers Valley featuring rare Porterhouse and T-bone cuts from cattle raised on a meticulous feeding programme that amplifies tenderness and flavour for a perfect, juicy bite.

Each steak is seasoned with a proprietary seven-spice blend, then seared over a custom charcoal grill that combines Australian ironbark for smokiness with white binchotan for that flawless caramelised crust.

The result? A meal that’s primal yet polished, best savoured with housemade condiments like chimichurri, bearnaise or pepperberry and brandy sauce for a true masterclass in meat.

Purebred wagyu: Nikuya Tanaka

Japan’s most revered steakhouse has landed in Singapore. Helmed by third-generation meat master Satoru Tanaka, Nikuya Tanaka is ranked Japan’s top steak restaurant and 27th on the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants.

Chef Tanaka’s lineage spans three generations of wagyu mastery, from his grandfather a wagyu broker to his father, a butcher, each passing down an unbroken reverence for the craft of Japanese beef. At its heart is purebred Tajima Wagyu, an exceptionally rare breed that represents less than 0.1 per cent of Japanese beef. Each animal is personally selected by Tanaka himself, with only female cattle, celebrated for their silken marbling, making the cut. The cooking is minimalist with techniques like binchotan charcoal grilling and sashimi-style preparations, to let the beef’s natural flavours and tenderness shine.

Highlights of the kappo-style menu include the Kobe wagyu chateaubriand which melts like a sigh, while the kombu-jime cured and charcoal seared beef tataki delivers a delicate whisper of smoke and umami with every bite.

Free flow frites: La Vache!

Paying homage to the tradition of Parisian entrecote steakhouses, La Vache! channels the energy of a buzzy Left Bank bistro, complete with red leather banquettes, brass fittings and a lively playlist that keeps spirits high and glasses clinking.

Here, the only decision you need to make is how you like your steak, because everything else has already been sorted with just one delightfully simple set menu. It starts with bread and butter, and a crisp green salad of organic leaves and walnuts tossed in tangy mustard vinaigrette.

With the sides all sorted, you only need to focus on your steaks here. Photo: La Vache!

Then comes a 10oz USDA Double Gold ribeye, wet-aged for 60 days and seared exactly to your liking, together with golden fries cooked to crisp perfection in beef tallow. The best part is that the frites are bottomless, generously refilled fresh from the kitchen every time your plate runs low.

A concise wine list and classic cocktails round out the meal, but it’s the dessert trolley laden with profiteroles, lemon meringue tart and mille-feuille that seals the deal. Steak-frites, à la perfection.

Slice of the Big Apple: The Coach Restaurant

The all-American steakhouse gets a stylish upgrade at The Coach Restaurant, where the spirit of New York City sizzles in the heart of Jewel Changi Airport. Overlooking the Rain Vortex, the newly opened space channels the brand’s Manhattan roots with vintage diner charm complete with glove-tanned leather booths and even a suspended yellow taxi cab.

American-style steaks are the star at this fashion-branded restaurant. Photo: The Coach Restaurant

At the grill, head chef Kurt Sombero, formerly of Burnt Ends, fires up the classics like USDA Prime cuts and prized Japanese Satsuma wagyu A5 served with roasted garlic and butter stamped with Coach’s Signature “C” logo. The unapologetically indulgent porterhouse is the main event but for something surf-side, the Maryland crab cakes or Maine lobster seared over open flames hit the spot too. Finish strong with the classic New York style cheesecake or peanut butter and jelly bombe alaska – it’s a bite of the Big Apple worth sinking your teeth into.

Seoul on the grill: Cote

For K-BBQ energy with a chophouse edge, Cote Singapore delivers the best of both worlds. The only international outpost of the one-Michelin-starred original in New York City, this sleek Korean steakhouse blends the convivial spirit of Korean barbecue with the precision and polish of an American chophouse.

Premium cuts and indulgent Korean side dishes await at Cote. Photo: Cote

Expect perfectly marbled USDA Prime cuts grilled by a server tableside on a smokeless grill, attentive service and a wine list boasting over 1,200 labels. In true Korean fashion, steaks are served with vibrant banchan and accompaniments like naengmyeon (cold noodles) and bibimbap – a refreshing twist on the traditional steakhouse spread.

When you’ve had your fill of prime cuts and need to burn off that beefy food coma, the buzz continues with the restaurant’s Millim After Dark, a new nightlife series at the jungle-inspired Millim Bar where DJs, speciality cocktails and plenty of Seoul-style energy keep the good times sizzling long after dinner.

Spirit of aloha: Butcher’s Block

At Butcher’s Block, Hawaii-born chef Jordan Keao champions the craft of butchery and the elemental poetry of wood-fire cooking. Inspired by his island upbringing of hunting, fishing and farming, where nothing goes to waste and food is a celebration of community and nature, the variety of cuts from duck to beef are butchered in-house and used nose-to-tail. Cuts are hung and dry-aged and sealed in rendered beef fat trimmings before hitting the custom-built wood-fire oven for a smokey, deeply satisfying steak.

A fine dining feast awaits at Butcher’s Block. Photo: Butcher’s Block

Paying homage to his homeland, the chef also has a new tasting menu. Called Imua, Hawaiian for “moving forward with strength and spirit”, the feast includes Hawaiian-inspired dishes like big eye ahi poke tartlet and kalua pork dumplings and as a finale: wagyu from Australia’s Blackmore Farms, one of the country’s top producers of this prized beef.

Argentinian pride: Fire

For a twist on the usual steakhouse experience, Argentinian restaurant Fire turns up the heat. Its steaks are known for their bold, vibrant flavours born from the Argentine asado style of cooking, a tradition perfected by South American gauchos. In this rustic method of open-fire cooking where meat is grilled low and slow over wood embers and is often shared among friends and family.

Naturally, the menu celebrates premium Argentine beef, prized for its rich and pure pasture-raised flavour from cows bred naturally without antibiotics, hormones or heavy industry – a point of national pride, as cattle ranching is deeply ingrained in Argentine history and culture.

The star cut is Devesa beef, an award-winning Argentine export that stakes its claim as South America’s Best Steak 2023 at the World Steak Challenge.

Get up bright and early for a revitalising walk along the 10km-long Southern Ridges trail that connects Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, HortPark, Kent Ridge Park and Labrador Nature Reserve. With options to get on or off the trail depending on the distance you’d like to do, these ridges have something for everyone, whether you’re a history buff, nature lover or walking enthusiast.

Enjoy some cool respite from the Singapore heat in the air-conditioned conservatories at the award-winning Gardens by the Bay. Enter the Flower Dome, where it is perpetually spring, and Cloud Forest, a misty wonderland home to rare plants that thrive in the mountains.

Day 2 – Heritage trail

10am – Singapore’s last standing Teochew mansion

Recently reopened as a living heritage landmark, The House of Tan Yeok Nee is over 140 years old and has just been opened to the public. Built between 1882 and 1885, it was owned by prominent merchant Tan Yeok Nee and considered one of the last “Four Grand Mansions” constructed by Singapore’s early Teochew pioneers. Over the years, the mansion has served as a refuge for orphaned girls, a university campus and a traditional Chinese medicine hall.

World-class exhibitions are also organised regularly.

Singapore Airlines unveils new First Class SilverKris Lounge at Changi Airport

Singapore Airlines (SIA) unveils its new First Class SilverKris Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 on 7 November 2025, offering Suites and First Class customers, as well as Solitaire PPS members, an elevated ground experience that mirrors the airline’s award-winning hospitality in the skies.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and a warm colour palette give the new lounge a calm and elegant ambience.

Following the success of its flagship First Class SilverKris Lounge at Terminal 3, the new space – located on the third level, near Departure Gate E – reflects a sophisticated evolution of SIA’s design philosophy. Spanning over 1,050m2 with seating for almost 130 customers, the lounge features higher ceilings, more generous floor space and floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the interiors with natural light.

Warm welcome

Customers are greeted by a striking 20-metre long batik wall near the lounge entrance, featuring 97 laser-cut plexiglass batik flowers with gold-coated aluminium accents—an artistic interpretation of SIA’s signature batik motif.

A warm welcome from the iconic Batik Wall in Terminal 2.

At reception, a curved LED screen showcases the gentle flow of the batik motif design, creating a captivating visual welcome and a photo-worthy backdrop. The foyer is infused with the floral scent of the airline’s bespoke Batik Flora fragrance, while the soothing melodies of  Sound of Singapore Airlines, SIA’s sonic signature, enhance the multi-sensory experience.

Signature Bar

At the heart of the lounge is the Signature Bar, an elegant bar with seating for 12, serving fresh barista-made coffee in the morning (6am–10am) and signature cocktails in the evening (5:30pm–1am). Exclusive to the bar is the Piper-Heidsieck Rare 2013 champagne, which makes its first appearance in any Singapore Airlines lounge here. The Rare Millésime, the prestige cuvée of the Piper-Heidsieck house, is produced only in exceptional years. The 2013 vintage is a blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir.

Cocktails and mocktails take on local flavours and seasonal ingredients, created in-house by SIA’s bartenders and blend technical craft with creative flair. The menu will evolve regularly to continuously offer guests new tasting experiences, and an excellent reason to revisit. Bartenders craft each drink to order, highlighting the lounge’s attention to detail and showmanship. Delicious bar bites can be enjoyed alongside your chosen tipple.

The Signature Bar seats up to 12 people.

Guests may also enjoy a glass of “Root Recovery”, a wellness-inspired beverage by local hospitality brand COMO Shambhala, at the bar. Crafted from apple, beetroot, carrot, and ginger, this blend offers a balance of natural sweetness and invigorating spice. Designed to refresh travellers before their journey, the drink reflects SIA’s growing emphasis on wellbeing and mindful indulgence.

Living and dining areas

Above the living and dining area hang two stunning chandeliers by Czech designer Michaela Mertlová and crafted by LASVIT. Drawing inspiration from the night sky, they feature 128 hand-blown glass stars.

The chandeliers are a key centrepiece of the lounge.

The lounge is thoughtfully designed to cater to a variety of travellers’ needs, from wingback chairs embroidered with SIA’s signature batik motif for quiet relaxation to productivity pods with reading lights and charging points for work. For those travelling in a group, there are booth seating that can comfortably accommodate four people, or a meeting room equipped with screens with video conference capabilities for collaborative work. Two soundproof phone booths are also available for privacy.

Dining experience

A live cooking station serves freshly prepared dishes, complemented by a self-service buffet that mirrors the offerings at the Terminal 3 flagship lounge. For its launch month, an exclusive menu will feature a curated selection of international flavours, wellness-inspirated creations and reimagined local dishes.

Self-service buffet stations will feature an international selection of elevated cuisine.

For breakfast, guests can enjoy new items such as Stir-Fried XO Carrot Cake with Bean Sprouts and Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Bagel to start their day. At lunch, offerings include the new Korean-Style Citron & Chili Glazed Chicken and Herb-Roasted Chicken Cacciatore. In the evening, dinner and supper will feature Steamed Barramundi Fillet with Fragrant Ginger-Soy Dressing and Grilled Chicken & Cheese Sourdough Melt with Salad.

Comfort zones

Four unisex en-suite shower rooms offer customers a space to refresh before their flight. Each suite features GROHE and TOTO fixtures and is stocked with Lalique Neroli body lotion, facial mist, and eau de toilette, along with shampoo and shower gels. Dyson hairdryers are provided for convenience. A separate wheelchair-accessible shower room is also available.

A playroom ensures families with little ones are well-looked after.

A rest area with four semi-private pods provides a serene spot for short naps. Each resting pod features an adjustable Poltrona Frau reclining armchair and a sliding door for privacy. Pillows, blankets, and eyeshades are provided for added comfort. A playroom and a nursing room ensure families are comfortably accommodated.

The First Class SilverKris Lounge is open to SIA’s Suites and First Class customers, Solitaire PPS Club members, and First Class customers travelling on Star Alliance member airlines.
