The Rauris Valley lies at the foot of the Austrian Alps. In winter, the area gets covered in snow and turns into a perfect destination for winter sports lovers. Come with me on this stunning 4-day splitboarding tour in this beautiful spot!

The Rauris Valley is located in SalzburgerLand, the biggest community within the High Tauern National Park. It has a very long cultural history involving gold mining, trading and it is considered to be a natural treasure.

This tour combines splitboarding and mountaineering in a breathtaking alpine scenery. Each day we will climb to different spots and enjoy some incredible descents in the Eastern Alps. Sleeping in charming mountain huts will make this adventure even more fabulous!

Some of the areas that we will explore include the Hocharn (3,254m), the highest mountain in the Goldberg Group, and the glaciated mountain Hoher Sonnblick (3,106m). You will find the complete itinerary at the end of this description.

Please consider that for this program you should be able to splitboard on all kinds of snow. Also, it is also important to have a good fitness level as we will hike for 6 to 8 hours per day to reach the best hidden spots of the Rauris Valley.Of course, I will be there to help and guide you!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
