Nozawa Onsen is famous for skiing. In fact, it is also good in summer.
The main attraction of this event is that anyone can enjoy the charm of the great outdoors in an easygoing manner. The North Face tents will be set up at the Staka Lake campground in Nozawaonsen Village, Nagano Prefecture, where participants will sleep. All tents will be provided by The North Face and set up in advance by staff, so there is no need to prepare a tent, let alone set it up and take it down. Even complete beginners to camping can rest easy.
Incidentally, although it was sweltering hot in Tokyo on the day of the event, the air was cool when we arrived at the venue. That is not surprising, since the Lake Staka campground is located at an altitude of about 1,300 meters above sea level, and the temperature is 7 to 8 degrees Celsius lower than in the plains. Nozawa Onsen is famous for its ski slopes, but this location, which is cool and comfortable even in mid-summer, is also a wonderful field for enjoying the outdoors in summer.
Beginners are welcome. Try activities you have never experienced before!
There are six types of activities that can be experienced at this event: top rope climbing, bouldering, SUP & yoga, mountain biking, trail running, and logging. Such a wide variety of activities can be enjoyed only in Nozawa Onsen, which has a rich natural environment with mountains and lakes. The North Face offers a wide range of clothing and gear for a variety of activities.
No matter how active you are, not many people have experienced all six of these activities. . Since you are going to the trouble of trying these activities, you may want to try those you have not experienced before. Each activity will be taught by professionals, including athletes contracted by The North Face, from the very basics. Even beginners can enjoy these activities.
When you decide to start a new activity, the first step is crucial. In this respect, this event, with gear and field equipment provided and staff on hand to teach you how to do it, is the perfect environment to start an activity that you have never tried before. I want more people to feel comfortable going out into the field. Perhaps this is the message behind The North Face's sponsorship of this event.
