Description
During this mountain traverse in the Hakuba area, we'll cross the stunning Ushiro Tateyama mountain range. We'll go from Mt Karamatsu (2696m) to Mt Goryu (2814m) to Mt Kashimayari (2889m), and the more advanced can also reach the Mt Jigatake summit (2670m).
This 3-day hike is a great way to get to know the Hakuba area, straddled between the Nagano and the Toyama Prefectures in Japan. This area is very popular among hikers in the summer and skiers in the winter.
Two long ridges — the Happoo ridge and the Toomi ridge — connect these mountains. During our traverse, we'll enjoy incredible views of the mountains in this beautiful area of the Japan Alps.
You need a good fitness level to be able to enjoy these 3 days of hiking. Although the route doesn't present any technical difficulties, it can be quite challenging, especially if you wish to climb to the Mt Jigatake summit.
