Mt. Tsubakurodake Hike：燕岳ハイキング

Mt. Tsubakurodake(燕岳:2,763m) is very popular mountain in the Northern Alps(北アルプス) for moderate hikers. We stay overnight in a mountain hut* near the summit. If it's a clear day, the 360-degree view from the top is wonderful. On the final day, enjoy the onsen** at the end of the trail, but it's optional. This hike is suitable for moderate hikers and the pace will be a moderate, average 1.0-1.5km/h throughout the course. Please make sure that you participate in this hike at your own risk. In the case of heavy rain or bad conditions, it may be canceled.
