Description
The second largest island in Japan, Hokkaido is an amazing place to visit. And during the winter season, there are an abundance of amazing ski resorts, all full of great slopes.
During this full day, group trip, you will get to enjoy the best slopes Hokkaido has to offer. And you will get to enjoy them with the second ranked FWT skier in Japan, and sixtieth ranked FWT skier in the world. Those rankings came as a result of countless hours of practice and competition. By being such an experienced skier, I believe I will be able to offer you the kind of unique experience you might otherwise not get from an instructor or guide. In fact, this trip is a great way for instructors and guides to learn more about skiing as well.
Since there are so many ski resorts to choose from in Hokkaido, it will not be difficult finding the perfect one for you. However, the choices will not be at a beginner level. Instead, they will be at an intermediate or higher level, which your skill level should be when participating in this trip.
Filled with great powder and thrilling slopes, I know you’ll have a great time skiing with me in Hokkaido. If you would like to join me just send a request. I look forward to skiing with you.
There is also a half-day version of this group trip, which I also think people with less available time would enjoy.

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.
