When it comes to great snowboarding and splitboarding in the Alps of Italy, you can’t do much better than Courmayeur.

Courmayeur has a huge assortment of wonderful slopes. And I would like to teach you how to properly enjoy those slopes on an instructive and enjoyable 3 day course.

A lot will be covered during this course. During the first day, we will focus on an introduction to your equipment and splitboarding skills training. We will also cover how to properly use avalanche safety equipment, and so much more.

On the second day of this course, you will get to enjoy some exciting off-piste snowboarding on the slopes of Courmayeur. We will also enjoy some short splitboarding tours as well. During these tours, I will offer you advice in order to improve your developing skills.

During the final day of the course, we will visit the village of La Thuile. From there, we will venture to the Punta Croce. Once there, you will get to use the skills you have been learning and put them into practice during a thrilling and scenic splitboarding tour. During this tour you will take a leading role, and will utilise important route finding and decision making.

Many people visit Courmayeur to enjoy some great snowboarding and splitboarding on the area’s slopes. And it is my intention that you will not only get to enjoy those slopes, but learn how to enjoy them safely and properly.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

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!

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.
