Ontake is a 3,067M volcanic peak in the Central Alps near the Gifu / Nagano border. This hike features 360 degree views from the top as well as a few alpine lakes on the upper part of the mountain.
This trip will depart on Saturday night due to the distance, and we will camp out near Ontake at a road station (道の駅). The hiking distance is 7km in total with about 800 meters of elevation gained and lost. The hike starts out at the top of a ski area at 2,240 meters and begins hiking near the tree line.
This should be the peak of alpine fall colors and we should have some great views on the mountain. As we near the summit, there are some loops that we can include in the hike to go along some alpine lakes with views of the top.
After the hike we will spend about an hour at a hot spring near the trailhead and then make the drive back home.
