Trusted and proven Copains Blancs
52 years of trust and achievements
We run a ski school in Shiga Kogen as an official school of the Japan Professional Ski Instructors Association (SIA). We provide mountaineering and trekking tour guides throughout Japan, mainly guided by official guides of the Japan Mountain Guides Association (JMGA). This season marks the 52nd year since the ski school opened, and the 44th year of trekking tours.
Our activities are carried out mainly by a staff of 17 SIA members (12 of whom are ISIA members) and 9 JMGA members.
Fun for everyone from beginners to advanced hikers
