Description

Ride the stunning Japanese slopes of Nozawa Onsen with a world-class snowboarder.

I am a Freeride World Qualifier athlete with 15 years of snowboarding experience who intimately knows the mountains of Nozawa Onsen.

The town of Nozawa Onsen is a small and sleepy urban area built around two alpine activities: hot springs and cool slopes. It is located in the northern region of the Nagano Prefecture, home to impressive highland areas ideal for snowboarding.

The prefecture is dominated by mountain ranges along with their scenic beauty, and was actually the host of the 1998 Winter Olympics which speaks to its alpine strength and quality.

It boasts 297 hectares of snowy terrain, as well as an altitude differential of 1,085 meters, thus making it one of the top resorts in the entire country.

Nine of the highest 12 mountains of Japan stand within the borders of Nozawa Onsen. And approximately 21% of the region’s land is actually designated as natural parks.

Take advantage of this opportunity of riding with a professional freeride athlete and enjoy the experience of snowboarding together.

Get in touch now to reserve your place in the magnificent Japanese mountains of Nozawa Onsen on a 1+day snowboarding ride with me, and discover the best slopes in the region.

    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.
