Description

During this 3 day adventure, you will get to climb to the summit of the stunning Mount Hotakadake (3,190m).

Located in the Japan Alps, Mount Hotakadake is an amazing peak. Positioned high in the Hida Mountains, the peak’s summit offers some truly fantastic views. Furthermore, the ascent itself is filled with great spots to enjoy various views as well.

Each day of this trip will be different. For example, on the first day, we will be climbing for only 2 hours, until we reach the Nishiho Sanso, where we will spend the night. However, on the second day, we will be climbing for approximately 10 hours to the summit and down to the Hotakadake Sanso, where we will spend the night. Finally, on the last day, we will spend approximately 6 hours making our way back down the peak.

The climb to the summit of the peak is not overtly difficult. As a result, you don’t have to be a climbing expert to enjoy it. However, you should be in good physical condition. Moreover, the maximum number of people on this trip is two. Hence making the climbing experience less of a group climb, and more of a personalized journey.

There are a number of great peaks you can climb throughout the country of Japan. However, Mount Hotakadake is definitely one of the best. So, if you find yourself visiting the Japan Alps, this 3-day trip will definitely take your breath away. To join me on this trip, please send a request.

I am a certified Ski and Mountain Guide, JMGA, (Japan Mountain Guide Association) as well as a member of the Japan Avalanche Network.

My guiding career evolved from my passion for ski mountaineering.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
