Join a group for a day to experience the best ski of Hakuba in the company of a pro. It will be a unique experience to have a pro skier show you around and give you some tips during a fun day!
I am 1st in the Freeride World Qualifier ranking in Japan, and 51st in the world. I have skied all around the world during this competition. But one of the things I enjoy the most is to go back to Hakuba, where I’m from, and ski in my favourite spots!
Hakuba is located in the Nagano Prefecture, partly in the Chūbu-Sangaku National Park. The Hakuba Valley, in the Northern Japan Alps, has been a world-renowned ski destination since the 1998 Winter Olympics were held in Nagano.
There are 9 ski resorts in the area which offer over 130 km of pistes. So, as you can imagine, there is something for all levels and tastes! The idea during this day is to take you to the best ski terrain depending on the conditions. I know the terrain really well since I have skied here for many years.
Please note that as I am not a ski instructor, we will stay within the limits of the ski resort. The goal of the day is to have fun! And of course, I will share with you my pro skiing tips, and show you how I choose the best lines.
You need to be at least an intermediate skier to participate. Furthermore, it is important that you know your boundaries and ski at your own level. Of course, I will adjust to it.
As there are no pre-determined dates, I will put together groups on an on-demand basis.
If you have any further doubts don’t hesitate to ask me! I can also recommend other activities in Hakuba to complete your trip. Just let me know if you want information about the best restaurants or onsens, for example.
Want to join me for a day in Hakuba? Then please request to book this trip! It will be my pleasure to share a day with you in this place I love so much. And if you only have a morning or afternoon available, check out this half-day option.

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.
