Description

Niseko, located on the Japanese island of Hokkaido, is a fantastic place. And for anybody who has ever visited Niseko, one thing that truly stands out is the beautiful volcano, Mount Yotei (1,898m). And on this 2 day trip, you will have the chance to join a group and combine a day of sidecountry skiing at Niseko with a day of backcountry skiing down Mount Yotei.

When it comes to the sidecountry skiing in Niseko, there are several different areas where you can enjoy some exciting descents. Those areas include Niseko Hirafu, the Niseko village, Niseko Annupuri, Niseko Hanazono, Niseko Moiwa and Niseko Weiss. And because we will use the chosen area’s lifts, finding the right places to ski will not be a challenge.

When it comes to the backcountry skiing down Mount Yotei however, that is where you will encounter a challenge. The descent down the volcano presents some tough spots. However, the thrill along with the spectacular views, are very memorable.

Another great aspect of this 2 day trip is that you do not have to experience them consecutively. Instead, you can break them up however you please. So if you have other plans around Hokkaido, there is no problem. You can enjoy them, only to come back and enjoy the second half of this wonderful adventure whenever you please.

This 2 day trip is perfect for people who are looking for a unique skiing experience in Hokkaido. The slopes found around the resort areas of Niseko are very different from the wilder slopes of Mount Yotei. Thus giving you not only an exciting adventure, but a varied one as well. So if that sounds like the trip for you, please send me a request, and be a part of the group!

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.
