A ski touring safari
looking for the best snow in the world
Available dates in January 2025:
- From 09 to 18 January 2025
- From 18 to 31 January 2025
The island of Hokkaido enjoys exceptional snowfall every year and extraordinarily light snow, described by some as “the best powder in the world”. It is also a volcanic island, which means you can ski on an active volcano, amidst volcanic vents.
In order to take full advantage of the skiing opportunities, we will alternate resort skiing with ski mountaineering.
Many of these excursions are made easier by the ski lifts, which provide quick access to the best off-piste areas.
You will need to use wide skis (minimum 90 mm skis, ideally 105 mm) equipped with touring bindings.
by a team of passionate individuals.
That's why we place such importance on the human dimension
and attention to detail in all our projects.
