Description

In the eastern part of the North Japan Alps, lies the deepest and probably most beautiful valley in Japan: Kurobe Valley. 

You may also find this place as 'Kurobe gorge', due the steep cliffs that form a canyon over the Kurobe river. Surrounded by an unspoiled forest, the route towards this place has a limited access. It's open for climbers only one month during autumn.

In this hiking tour, we'll take different mountain trails. One of them will be Shimo-no-Rouka, a very challenging trail with some dangerous sections.

For this trip you must be strong and fit, and be able to walk up to 12 hours a day. Besides, you shouldn't be afraid of heights.

By the end of our traverse, we'll relax in a typical Japanese Onsen. Finally, we'll return at Unazuki-Onsen Station of Toyama Local Railway around 2.30 PM.

Would you like to be one of the few venturing out in this incredible natural setting of the North Japan Alps? Then, come with me for an incredible hiking trip! (you'll find departure dates below).

You can also consider other options in this area, like this 5-day traverse in the Ushiro-Tateyama mountains.

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!

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.
