The Japanese Haute Route
A fantastic opportunity to ski tour in the Northern Alps of Honshu, Japan - hot springs, sushi and superb ski mountaineering terrain. This trip gives 9 - 11 days skiing and an undoubtably fascinating cultural experience. This is a tour for experienced ski mountaineers with a taste for adventure, who are comfortable with the challenges of hut-to-hut touring and steep terrain. Summits include Yarigatake (3,180m) and Japan's third highest mountain Okuhotaka (3,190m). We finish with a ski descent of Fuji-san (3,776m).
