ペテガリ岳 Petegari-dake Mt. Petegaridake

Jp En


Mt. Petegaridake is a part of the peaks composing the Hidaka mountain range, which extends to Cape Erimo. It is called “Japan’s No.1 Fine Peak” or “Far and Away Mountain” and also counted as one of 200 Fine Mountains. The peak is at 1736 m above sea level. The mountain trail runs along the ridge from east to west. Below the top is Petegari Lodge, where climbers are received with a warm hospitality. The mountain is covered with deep snow in winter, so no climbers can enter the mountain area. In the high season of the summer, a lot of climbers come to challenge its peak. The route has many difficult points; especially on the eastern route, climbers have to go over three cirques (round howes) and go up and down ridges many times. Even if their feet get stiff, maybe they will get something only obtainable at the mountain top. Listen carefully, and you will hear the squeak of Japanese pikas.
