Description
Even if you only have a few hours to enjoy Hokkaido, I definitely recommend you do so. The island, which is the second largest in Japan, is full of wonderful places to visit, including the capital of Sapporo.
On this group trip, which lasts a half-day, you will get to enjoy the slopes of one of Hokkaido’s best ski resorts. Furthermore, you will get to enjoy those slopes with a freeride world tour skier, who is ranked second in Japan and sixtieth in the world.
Despite being only a half-day long, I have no doubt you will nonetheless have a fantastic experience. During this trip, while I will not directly instruct you, I will show you the ways which a professional takes on the slopes. I can also show you which lines I choose and why, how I used the natural features of the terrain, and after half a day with me you’ll be a few steps closer to being an advanced freeride skier. And, of course, whenever the opportunity arises, I will gladly provide you with tips and advice.
I believe skiing with a professional is a great way to see where you can improve as a skier. To participate on this trip, you should be an experienced skier.
If you would like to ski with a pro for a few hours in Hokkaido, this trip is perfect for you. To be a part of it, just send a request.
And if you have more available time, there is also a full day version of this trip as well.

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.
