Description

Experience a unique snowboarding experience in Myoko along a world-class rider! I am a Freeride World Qualifier (FWQ) athlete with 15 years of riding experience and I know the slopes of Myoko like the back of my hand. Join me and let’s enjoy amazing runs together.

Located in the Niigata Prefecture, one hour north of Nagano, Myoko boasts some of the best vertical and longest runs in the country. I will show you around the best resorts of the area while giving you some riding tips through the tour.

Myoko is made up of three separate resorts: Myoko Suginohara, Myoko Akakura and Ikenotaira Onsen. The resorts are centred around Akakura village, where you can find most of the accommodation. Myoko Kogen is also known for its rich culture, history and traditional onsens (hot springs).

Exploring different lines adds a whole new dimension to riding, so this 1-day group program is a great opportunity to see first-hand what lines I pick and follow my tracks!

For 1 or more days, I will take you to my favorite pistes. For safety reasons, we will always ride within ski area boundaries. I am not a certified mountain guide, so our goal will just be to enjoy riding, on a day of pure fun.

Please note you need to have at least an intermediate snowboarding level to join me on this tour. You will be responsible to assess your own riding level, regarding what you can and cannot do.

So if you want to join me and explore the best riding spots in Myoko, just send me a request. I will be happy to share a great snowboarding day with you! If you are looking for more riding options in Japan, check out my profile page!

Man

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.
