A colorful tour setting colored according to the place of enjoyment
At the Color Sports Club, the place to enjoy is characterized by colors.
Each of the six colors has its own “fun”. Held from November to May, the field is mainly in the Hakuba area, and it takes 4 to 6 hours for each "play (color)". For example, "blue play" is for his first backcountry experience and for those who want to enjoy it casually.
Enjoy an altitude difference of about 400 to 600m with an orientation. "Yellow play" is for advanced skiers who want to enjoy backcountry in earnest.
Make full use of snowshoes and climbing skins and enjoy double the blue skiing altitude difference of 600 to 1,000m. After gaining experience in the "blue play", you can participate in the "yellow play". In addition, repeaters can enjoy a route with an altitude difference of 1,000 to 1,200m, which is twice as much as yellow, in the "red play".
