🎿 SKI FREERIDE IN JAPAN | HOKKAIDO

Set out to discover the legendary “Japow” ❄️— that light, deep snow that freeriders all over the world dream of !

🌲 Amid birch forests, vast, untouched wilderness, and snow-covered landscapes stretching as far as the eye can see, enjoy a unique freeride experience in the heart of the Japanese mountains. Real powder snow is waiting just for you.

🏔️ Memorable runs, exceptional snow, and an immersion in Japanese culture 🍜⛩️: all the ingredients are there for an extraordinary adventure.

 

✨ A unique experience right at your doorstep!

10 days of fun (including 8 days of skiing), discover the best ski spots: FURANO, Mount ASAHIDAKE, TOMAMU, NISEKO, MOIWA, and RUSUTSU.

The route of the hike is subject to change depending on snow conditions and safety considerations.

 

Approach & Experience

Get off the beaten path,

Most of our days will be spent outside the ski areas, either on our own or with a guide. The goal: to explore wild, unspoiled, and off-the-beaten-path spots, far from the usual routes.

 

An Immersion in the Heart of Japan,

Our base camps are located in Furano and Niseko, two iconic destinations on the island of Hokkaidō. With traditional Japanese accommodations, a local atmosphere, and cultural exploration, the experience goes beyond just skiing—it fully immerses you in the Japanese way of life.

 

Itineraries Designed for Adventure,

Our itineraries are designed around 800 to 1,400 meters of elevation gain on ski tours, in varied and wild environments. They offer the perfect combination of challenge, discovery, and the joy of skiing, all set against the backdrop of exceptional landscapes.

 

Our mountain professionals will guide you every step of the way, ensuring your safety and helping you discover the area.
