Other details
Sapporo domestic airport, arrival hall.
3* hotel with breakfast (double room). Single rooms may be available, contact me for pricing information, keep in mind that accommodation in Japan is very expensive.
Group size: 6 to 8 people.
Breakfast is included.
I can loan you technical equipment (AVD, shovel and probe).
Technical level: For good skiers in all snow. We have a good rhythm during the ski days. There may be some short steep passages. It's possible to make short ascents on skins (no more than 45 min per day and you don't need to have ski touring experience).
To carry: a light bag with what you need for the day.
Calculate around 250€ for the lifts for the 7 days, which are not included in the price.
I recommend you to have cancellation insurance. Search and repatriation insurance is mandatory. I propose you to hire insurance through Europ Assistance upon booking the trip with me.
