Description

Have you ever wondered how your skiing skills compare with a pro? Ever wanted to put yourself to the test and find out?

Well now is your chance to find out! Join me for a fun and exciting 1+ day of skiing in Hakuba, Japan – site of the 1988 Winter Olympics. I am currently the 15th highest ranked skier in my home country and competing in the Ski World Tour qualifiers.

The Ski World Tour is a series of events in which the best skiers and riders from around the world compete both for individual wins and the World Champion title.

However, we will spend a great day skiing on some of the excellent pistes available to us in Hakuba. Located at the very northern edge of the Japanese Alps, near the Chūbu-Sangaku National Park, this region is well known for its extremely snowy winters and pristine natural beauty.

In between runs, we’ll have time to chat and take in the extraordinary beauty of this tiny skiing village. As we go from run to run, I’ll even give you a few pointers along the way, although the main point of our trip is to spend as much time out on the slopes as a day or more will allow!

Please remember that you need to be at least an intermediate skier to participate in this tour. Take into account that you will need to be able to assess for yourself what you can or cannot do. It will be your responsibility to ski at your own level.

So what are you waiting for? Join me on this epic skiing adventure as we take advantage of all the wonderful pistes available for us and all of Hakuba’s stunning scenery!

If you like the look of this trip then you may also enjoy spending 1+ day skiing the pristine slopes of Akaigawa with me!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

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!

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.
