⛄️❄️Kirigamine Highlands – Nagano (霧ヶ峰高原 – 長野)
Kirigamine is a famous spot for snow trekking in winter.
⛄️ We parked our car at the Kurumayama Kata Parking Lot Lot and tried the “beginner trail” which takes about an hour, heading to the top of Kurumayama.
❄️ It was pretty windy that day, and everything was totally white and hazy.
Impressed by the scenery that we had never seen before, we headed for the summit, but gave up halfway. Even though it was a “beginner trail”, it seemed to be set at a “beginner” level for those who are somewhat accustomed to snow trekking. For us true beginners, it felt like “intermediate +”.
However, even just a short walk was enough to enjoy the fantastic site.
📝 There seem to be guided tours, so if you are a true beginner, I think it is safest to join.
