Feedback from our Guests

We were lucky enough to stay here for their soft opening in the winter of 2022/23 and can say that next season this place is going to be awesome. Private bedrooms with your own bathroom and shower. Heated flooring makes this place an absolutely cozy feeling walking around. Even the kitchen and dining area we were comfortable in t-shirts.

We had an absolute blast during our weekend at the Brueys! The lodge is wonderful, and you can't beat a five minute walk to the lifts! The hosts are amazing people and the atmosphere was super fun. We loved Tangram and Madarao-- it was our first time there, and we'll be sure to be back to the mountain and will 100% stay at The Brueys!

Had a fantastic weekend here during Feb 2023. Skiing was excellent. The communal dining area/bar was my favourite part. Skip other mountains locally many don’t feel like Japan. This is the mountain and place to be.

If you’re looking for the best accommodation in Tangram/Madarao this is it! An easy stroll to the lifts to start your mountain adventure from. Comfortable lodging with amazing people, you really can’t go wrong with The Brueys. 10/10 will return.

5min walk from the chairlift at one of the most powder friendly resorts in Nagano. Hosted by Kate and Adam, two of the nicest people you'll ever meet, in an amazing lodge that's comfy, warm, and spacious, with some pretty spectacular views. Also for dog lovers, get ready to cuddle Frizzle-chan!
