Choose a tour based on experience and location

NisekoMecca offers four main types of winter backcountry tours. You can choose based on your desires and level, such as "I want to ski Mt. Yotei" or "I want to start on the slopes." It's also convenient that the guide will pick you up from your accommodation in the morning

[First Time Backcountry]

"I want to try backcountry skiing, but how do I get started? I don't know much about the equipment, and I don't have anyone to ask for advice. But I really want to try it!" This course is for skiers who are trying backcountry skiing for the first time. All equipment is provided, so you can relax, and it's reassuring that the course will be held even if there is only one participant. Thorough instruction will be given on how to climb, how to ski, and how to use equipment such as snowshoes and beacons.

The charm of Mt. Yotei is that you can enjoy a variety of slopes, from open runs to tree runs. This tour allows you to enjoy long runs and long hikes. However, to participate, you must have experience hiking for about three hours, have experience skiing on deep snow (powder snow), and be able to ski smoothly off-piste
