Highlights

  • Enjoy a half-day of great skiing on the slopes of Hakuba.
  • Learn from a professional and local FWQ skier.
  • Admire the gorgeous scenery of the enormous valley.

Description

I am the fourth ranked FWQ skier in Japan. To reach that level I have spent countless hours practicing and practicing on many different slopes. However some of my favorite slopes are in the gorgeous Hakuba valley. And it is in the valley where, for a half day, I would like to offer you the chance to ski with me on those same slopes.

The slopes of Hakuba are as deep and plentiful as they are fun and exciting. And because of my experience skiing in the area, I will be able to suggest to you the perfect spots to enjoy based on your skill level and the kind of skiing experience you want to have.

One area in particular that I enjoy the most is the Otari area. This area is in the north of the Hakuba valley and is home to some fantastic skiing spots.

Since this trip is more about enjoying a skiing experience with a freeride world qualifier skier than learning about skiing itself, it is important that participants are already experienced. In fact, you should be able to ski at a minimum intermediate level.

The Hakuba valley in Japan is home to some of the best skiing spots in the country. And for a few hours, I would like to give you the chance to enjoy some of those spots with somebody who has spent a long time skiing on them. If you would like to join me, just send a request. 

I also offer a full day version of this trip, which you can enjoy here.

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!

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.
