The Lab is a western style ski lodge with Japanese influences with the capacity to sleep 60 guests. It was previously used by the Japanese Ski Jumping Team during the ‘98 Olympics. Its location is ideal, equidistant (300m) to the Happone Ski Lifts and Echoland Main Street and only 100m from the resort shuttle bus stop giving you access to all other resorts covered by your Happy 7 lift ticket. The Happo-One Resort is the largest ski area in the Hakuba Valley and Echoland is the main strip in Hakuba, here you will find a wide range of restaurants, bars, shops, cafes and the local Japanese Onsen.

If you prefer not to venture out in the evening then the communal lounge and bar are a great place to socialize and unwind after a day on the slopes. The fully stocked in house bar is open every evening and great meals are served from 6:30 onwards with nightly specials such as Japanese Banquet Dinner (selection of traditional Japanese dishes) and BBQ Steak Night. The lounge area has ski/boarding films showing on the big screen every night and the separate TV room offers satellite channes with Nintendo Wii for further entertainment. Free wireless internet is available throughout the lodge with a communal computer located on the first floor for general use.

The rooming configurations vary from twin/double share to 4-8 share bunk rooms. There are bathroom facilities located on each floor and the shower facilities are located on the ground floor.
