Daisetsuzan Classic
The Daisetsuzan Classic Trip is a
fully customisable tour for PRIVATE GROUPS. In particular, this trip is
suited to ski and split board touring groups that want to get further into Hokkaido's highest mountain range.
Daisetsuzan translates to mean “Great Snowy Mountains” and refers to Hokkaido`s largest mountain range which runs through the center of the island. Ski areas in this part of the island include Furano, Asahidake, Kamui, Kurodake and Tomamu. Tokachidake is also located here and is an incredible backcountry touring zone.
This trip can be based from either Furano, Asahikawa or higher elevation alpine areas such as Asahidake and Tokachidake depending on your group`s interest and the timing of your visit.
Areas within striking distance in Central Hokkaido are
Asahidake,
Kamui, Furano,
Tokachidake,
Tomamu,
Sahoro and
Kurodake (depending on the time of the season). Wrapping up in Sapporo leaves you with a chance to visit Kiroro, Sapporo Kokusai or Teine Highland. The weather, snow and your interests will ultimately dictate where you end up each day.
