Backcountry ski guided day tours in Hakuba, Japan

Join me for amazing backcountry skiing tour in Japan! This tour takes place in Hakuba valley in Nagano. Come along a program tailored to your specific goals and experience, so you can enjoy the mountain at your own pace. 

As this is a private tour, the details of the program can be decided according to your experience, goals, and activities you want to pursue. There are 3 menus you can choose from: powder guiding within ski resort areas (off piste), free riding by utilising lifts of ski areas, and backcountry skiing or ski touring by hiking up the mountains of Hakuba.

The specific location will be selected on the day of the tour, based on the weather and snow conditions. Some of the possibilities are:

• Omachi,

• Hakuba,

• Otari,

• and Itoigawa

It is open to every skill level: from complete beginners (new to backcountry skiing), to expert skiers and snowboarders. You only need to be able to ski “on piste” to join this tour. If you are a total beginner, the program will include basic avalanche rescue techniques, which are mandatory.

Groups on this program are of a maximum of 5. If there are more skiers, I can invite another guide to join us. Maximum number of guests: 10. All participants must have their own mountaineering, backcountry or hiking insurance.

This program is only available on weekdays, Christmas to the third week of May.

I can also help you with your rental gear needs if you want. Please note that the insurance does not cover rental gear in case of loss or damage.

I hope to guide you in the near future, and help you make the best of your time in Japan!
