Located in the Daisetsuzan National Park, Mount Tokachi (2077m) is the highest volcano in its group. The abundant snow that accumulates each winter provides an excellent terrain for mountaineering. Join a group for two days and enjoy winter alpine climbing in the region!
In particular, I have chosen to climb the north west ridge of Kamihoro, a quite friendly route. We will climb using a single axe. In fact, the itinerary does not require a technical axe nor double axe. Access is easy and the views from Mount Kamihoro are stunning. Tokachi and Furano's views are impressive from here!
The winter and early spring are great not only for skiing in Hokkaido. In fact, I put together other alpine climbing as well as ice climbing programs for the season. If the dates for Mount Tokachi area don't suit you, have a look at the other options to join a group this season.
