The entire country boasts an impressive lineup of exquisite snowboarding destinations, but Hakuba is considered the cream of the crop of Japanese snow sports. Its diverse terrain, which blends all levels of difficult runs with its unbelievably gorgeous scenery, is abundant and accommodating. The snow itself is particularly perfect, known as some of the driest and highest-quality in the world.
As a top-50 FWQ snowboarder in the world, currently first in Japan, I consider this region my playground. I developed my skills on these mountains, so I constantly return to improve them in this challenging landscape. I want to show you the same terrain and routes that turned me into a pro!
The resorts here have more than 200 runs, many with fantastic views of the surround Japanese Alps stretching over 3,000 meters tall. The snowfall is remarkably heavy, which means the legendary quality of the powder is plentiful throughout the region. Each resort will feature exciting alpine bowls, ridges with jaw-dropping panoramas, and long runs that go on for days.
Your program is a half-day adventure into this paradise. We will cruise through the best spots of an immaculate location, picking and choosing runs as we go. You can see how a professional decides which lines to take while riding next to me. I am not a certified instructor, but I can share a few tips on what makes me tick as a snowboarder.
The Hakuba Valley is a place everyone needs to ride at least once in their life. I will show you a safe and satisfying program while having a blast riding next to you. You should be able to assess your skills and know how to ride to your abilities, and this area caters to every level of snowboarder.
Grab your board and book this half-day program NOW! Discover the professional world of the sport in the company of Japan’s top-ranked male FWQ snowboarder in Hakuba and the Japanese Alps!
We can also extend your program into an all-day affair – or more – exploring the premium resort runs of Hakuba! Or we can bring a group along on this half-day snowboarding excursion!

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.
