The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the billiard problems for the domains on the sphere and hyperbolic space bounded by the corresponding conical sections. It is shown that these discrete systems are integrable and correspond to the translations on the Jacobi varieties of certain hyperelliptic curves. The explicit formulas in terms of \(\theta\)-functions are exhibited.
