The Tatayama 3015m to Bessan 2880m loop is an intermediate hike around the Tateyama plateau. The hike is possible once the Kurobe Alpine Route opens. Because of the easy access the first part of the hike is incredibly busy during summer. If possible it’s best to go early or during the week. Until the end of June winter gear like crampons and axe is needed. ⏲︎ Time: 6-7h ✎ Kanji: 立山 ⚲ Location: Nagano ↔ Distance: 10km ✮ Difficulty: Intermediate ᨒ Elevation Gain: 100
