The Programme
Splitboard Chablais 3-day sessions. The first day is spent close to the resort to help you get used to the equipment and warm up. This may require the purchase of a day pass for the local area. Over the next 2 days we travel to a local zone where the conditions are looking best returning to Chatel each day on the late afternoon.
Fitness & Ability
This is for any snowboarder confident on all level of piste runs who have a little powder experience but would like some more.
Your fitness level means that you are good to hike slowly for up to 3 hours a day on the splitboards with enough energy left to safely manage a descent of 1000m . Previous splitboard experience is not necessary.
What’s Included
- 3 full days of splitboard guiding & backcountry tuition
- Use of a splitboard if required + safety equipment
- Transport to wherever we decide to ride that week
What’s Not Included
- Accommodation on 3 nights of the trip. We are able to help you source something suited to your budget.
- Airport Transfers to Geneva
- Any meals, drinks or snacks
- Any odd lift ticket if required
Why Book With Us?
Splitboard Chablais 3 day sessions are a great choice for those who aren’t yet ready for a full week of splitboarding or for those pushed for time but want a quick break to get out to the mountains. Regular sessions also offer you full flexibility on dates. We also include ALL equipment as a part of the price so you can be sure there are no ‘hidden’ costs.
Running these trips are all we do all season long & we are very good at doing them. We are not a snowboard school offering the odd backcountry session but a supremely mobile, professional splitboard trip operator. There is a big difference and you’ll come to appreciate the benefits of being with such a flexible outfit on your trip with us.
