Description

There are a lot of different ways you can enjoy the Niseko skiing area on the island of Hokkaido in Japan. On this 2 day trip, I want to guide you through the more challenging, backcountry skiing option, which forgoes the use of ski lifts in favour of hiking to the top of the chosen descents. While on the second day you will get to experience an even more challenging excursion, backcountry skiing down the beautiful Mount Yotei (1,898m).

The scenery you will get to admire throughout this adventure is spectacular, especially during the hikes. Whether its sunrise or sunset, the Niseko area, with Mount Yotei looming above, is mesmerising. And when blanketed with snow, it is even more impressive. However, the real highlight of this trip will be the skiing itself. There will be descents from several peaks, not just Mount Yotei, and each one is different. Thus providing you with several completely unique experiences. The powder of the slopes is deep and plentiful, and the private nature of the trip will allow you to enjoy the experience in a more intimate environment.

Each day of this trip will start at approximately 8:00 am and end at approximately between 3:00 pm. There is also an optional photo session included as well. Furthermore, unlike many trips of this nature, the 2 days of this adventure do not have to be enjoyed consecutively. Instead, you can space them out however you please.

Of all the trips offered in the Niseko area, I believe this one appeals most to people who are looking for a more challenging experience. So if you are an experienced off-piste skier, and are physically up to the task, then this is the trip for you.

Send me a request if you would like to join me.

I also offer a similar 2 day private trip, but instead of backcountry skiing there is sidecountry skiing in Niseko, as you will be using the ski lifts.

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.
