Tateyama (Northern Alps) is a great and renowned place to enjoy winter first snow late November. Public transportation runs until the last week-end of November so the area is still easily accessible and the snow already there. It's a great place to enjoy mountaineering, snowshoeing and back-country skiing.

For the details of our outing last November, pictures, GPX files, maps and practical information (like how to get there and away), check the article on my blog :
