Technik

Previous ski touring or splitboard touring experience is required. You must be confident making kick turns in steep terrain and skiing or snowboarding off-piste in variable snow conditions.

All our ski tours are open to splitboarders. However, a higher technical level is required on a splitboard because transitions, traverses and flat sections are generally more demanding than on touring skis.
