Do you want to experience skiing in the company of a top freeride skier? I invite you to spend a fun half day in one of the resorts of Hakuba, in Japan.
I am the number 1 Freeride World Qualifier skier in Japan, and I rank 51st in the world. This competition is held around the world. But one of my favourite things is still to go back to Hakuba, where I am from, to enjoy some first-class ski.
The Hakuba Valley is located in the beautiful Northern Japan Alps. Since the Winter Olympics were held in Nagano in 1998, Hakuba became world-famous as a ski destination. This is where you will find the largest ski terrain in Japan. And the terrain is varied, so there is something for all levels and tastes.
Snowfall is abundant during the season, and there are 9 top ski resorts to choose from. I will take you to the best ski terrain depending on the current conditions. As this is where I started skiing and I spent countless hours exploring the area, I know it like the back of my hand.
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.
Curious to see what it would be like to ski with a pro athlete? Then book this trip, join a group and let’s go! I look forward to meeting you in Hakuba to spend an amazing half day together. Are you looking for a full day activity? You can find it here!

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.
