Description

I invite you to a wonderful adventure in Hokkaido: a 2-day hiking traverse in the Daisetsuzan area!

Daisetsuzan is a mountainous area in the centre of the island of Hokkaido. In this trip, we’ll be hiking and admiring an scenic overlook of mounts Hakuundake and Asahidake.

Besides, if weather conditions are good, you can also see a stunning sunset and sunrise.

We will stay overnight at a lodge in Kurodake. You can rent sleeping bags there if you need to.

I also can provide an optional tour, like hiking to the summit of Asahidake which is an active volcano or to Susoai-daira Plateau, which is a large habitat of snow field alpine plants.

Furthermmore, I can also take you to an optional visit to Nakadake Onsen (hot spring).

If this trip sounds interesting to you, please contact me! You should consider that if you go hiking in July, it might include climbing on snowy gorge.

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.
