For those seeking a serene yet adventurous way to explore Niseko’s stunning winter landscapes, backcountry snowshoeing offers an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re after a peaceful wander through snow-covered forests or a trek to breathtaking mountain vistas, Explore Niseko’s Backcountry Snowshoe Tours are designed to suit your group’s unique preferences.

What Are Backcountry Snowshoe Tours?

Snowshoeing is the perfect way to access areas of Niseko that remain untouched during the winter months. Without the need for skis or snowboards, this activity is suitable for all ages and fitness levels, offering a slower, more immersive way to connect with nature.

Backcountry snowshoeing takes you off the beaten track, where pristine snow blankets the landscape and the only sounds are the crunch of snow beneath your feet and the gentle rustle of the wind.

At Explore Niseko, we understand that every group is different. That’s why our tours are fully customised to match your fitness levels, interests, and desired pace. Whether you’re a family seeking a gentle walk through the woods or an adventurer eager to scale a peak, we’ll craft an itinerary that’s just right for you.
