Chablais Alps splitboarding adventure in Switzerland and France

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 Chablais Alps splitboarding adventure in Switzerland and France 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.

The course is led by our British snowboard Mountain Guide (UIAGM) David Gladwin who is also a dual qualified BASI level 4 snowboard instructor. David has a vast knowledge of the Chablais, having been based in the area most of his life, and will take you on a fresh mountain adventure each day so you can ride the best snow conditions.

As a Mountain Guide David has the skills & knowledge to safely take you on any terrain including riding high altitude glaciers and using crampons & mountaineering equipment to access otherwise inaccessible lines. As well as being safety conscious David has an incredible skill to create exciting snowboarding adventures that will be etched in your memory for life.

A very good level of fitness is needed to make sure you get the most out of each day on this Chablais Alps splitboarding adventure in Switzerland and France.
