Description

Famous for so much, and visited by so many, it is incredible to know the Kansai area of Japan is also home to some fantastic snowboarding opportunities as well. And on this full day group trip, you can enjoy those opportunities with a freeride world qualifier snowboarder.

During this trip, we will be visiting the Hyperbowl Tohachi ski resort. While small, and only having 4 lifts, the resort is nonetheless home to some exciting runs. And because of its smaller size, it is not overcrowded. Thus giving you a chance to enjoy the nearly 9 km of slopes it has much more freely than you would at other, busier resorts.

Furthermore, on this full day group trip, you will get to enjoy those slopes with a FWQ snowboarder. Thus giving you the chance to learn from a professional by watching and snowboarding with somebody who has a lot of experience. I will also happily provide you with as much insight about snowboarding as I possibly can, in hopes it will help you improve your own skills.

Along with bringing plenty of enthusiasm, the only other responsibility you have for this trip is to be able to snowboard at an intermediate level. This will ensure you are able to keep up with the pace of the day.

The Kansai area of Japan is a gorgeous, exciting place. And this full day snowboarding trip can be a great addition to a trip you may be taking there. If that sounds enticing to you, just send a request.

You can also join me for a private snowboarding trip in the Tohoku area in the north of Japan.

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.
