Chablais Splitboard Explorer

Chablais Splitboard Explorer - Description

This splitboard course is designed to take advanced off-piste snowboarders away from the ski resorts and into the wilder backcountry areas of the Chablais mountain range. Splitboarding is all about strapping in, trekking out and riding untracked terrain that just isn’t possible to get to by hiking.

The Chablais alps are situated between Lake Geneva and the Mont Blanc Massif, stretching through both France and Switzerland. This 5 day splitboard course will take you into the wild side of the Chablais, away from the ski resorts, exploring different areas and summiting new peaks each day.

Throughout the course there is also a strong focus on progressing your mountain safety skills so you can better assess risks and travel more safely in the backcountry. This will be combined with splitboarding skills and technique ensuring that every day is informative & educational as well as a whole lot of fun.

A very good level of fitness is needed to make sure you get the most out of each day.

We also offer a splitboard course in arctic Norway for splitboarders wanting to travel further afield.

Optional Extras

An optional part of this course will be to do a 2 day tour involving a nights stay in a mountain refuge. This will be dependent on the group and on conditions.

Advantages

You will explore the wilder side of the Chablais region with lines you didn’t even know existed. Think secret powder bowls and hidden couloirs on mountains you have never previously visited.
