Karamatsu-dake is a 2,696M peak in the North Alps in the Hakuba area. This hike features 360 degree views throughout, with a couple of chair lifts to whisk us up over 1900 meters making the ascent easier.
Photos from a previous year's trip
This trip will depart on Friday night due to the distance, and we will camp out near the Hakuba area so we can get an early start as soon as the chair lifts start running. The hiking distance is 9km in total with about 700 meters of elevation gained and lost. We'll pass by a great alpine lake and if the weather is good we'll lhave a great mirror reflection of the North Alps on the lake.
This is the season when everything in the Alps is coming alive including alpine flowers, as well as Ptarmigan, otherwise known as the Japanese Thunderbird (雷鳥).
Friday Night Departure Details
Due to this climb being quite a distance away we have to leave on Friday night and will camp out at a Michi-no-eki Road Station (道の駅) Sleeping bag and mat are required for this, but no tents are needed. If you need rentals we have some available for 1,000 yen.
