Hokkaido Island
The island of Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island, is a natural paradise. You’ll enjoy every bit of its scenery, mountains, lakes and seascapes to the fullest.
With unrivalled snow cover and some of the best in the world, this region of Japan has become a must for freeride skiing.
Our philosophy
Our trips are planned, developed and supervised by a team of enthusiasts. We give special importance to the human aspect and detail in every project we undertake.
Our trips carry our signature: in a meticulously studied area, we offer tailor-made itineraries, as well as high-quality cuisine and accommodation.

Why
a ski safari?
Why use ski mountaineering equipment ?
If it hasn’t snowed for 2/3 days, it is better to stay away from the most popular sites. We will use ski touring equipment to find better conditions in virgin areas. Depending on your physical condition, these outings can involve between 300 and 800 m of ascent…
What equipment to use?
We are skiers first and foremost, and we prefer to go downhill. We therefore recommend skis with a 90-105 mm wide, equipped with low-tech touring bindings (a lightweight, high-performance set) and boots with Freerando insoles. Of course, the usual safety equipment is mandatory: avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe (ABS backpack optional).

WILD
Our trips are based on 7 days of freeride, backcountry and off-piste skiing. In search of Hokkaidō’s famous powder snow, we will be able to adapt to the conditions. Accommodation will be booked a few days before our departure to guarantee you the best snow conditions.
