Niseko – Backcountry Touring Day Trips

Interested in getting away from the crowds in Niseko and into Hokkaido’s incredible backcountry? Black Diamond’s certified guides will take you out of the resort for an experience you won’t soon forget. These Niseko backcountry touring day trips are all “earn your turns” trips involving no chairlifts but plenty of sweat in order to find the goods.

All tours begin with your guide picking you up directly from your accommodation in one of our comfortable 4WD drive vehicles between 8 AM and 8.30 AM. You will be contacted the evening before your scheduled trip about an exact pick up time. Depending on your equipment we will get the required rental gear for you or head straight to the trailhead.With our guides leading the way you can expect to find the best skin tracks and powder stashes. At the end of your successful powder day your guide will take you back to your accommodation.
