Description

The Gastein Valley is one of the best regions in Austria for winter adventures. On this tour you can explore this amazing area for one or several days and enjoy a splitboarding challenge under expert guidance. Come join me!

Encompassing four ski areas and three communities, the Gastein Valley is a snow paradise. It is located in the Hohe Tauern mountains, a sub-range of the Central Eastern Alps.

On this splitboarding outing we will get away from the busy Austrian pistes and enjoy the wild and pristine nature of this beautiful country. From forested sections to wide open powder slopes, Gastein Valley is all about variety!

For this trip you will need some prior off-piste experience. However, I will adapt the itinerary depending on your skills and wishes, as well as weather and snow conditions. Additionally, you will also need a good fitness level as we might hike several hours in order to reach the valley’s best spots.

So, if you want to discover the intriguing variety and countless splitboarding opportunities of the Gastein Valley, please contact me! I will be happy to be your guide!

My last 20 years I was working as mountain guide in all different parts of the Alps, in all seasons. In winter I work for different ski schools as ski instructor in Austria and Switzerland. Since a couple of years i am guiding as well in New Zealand. Furthermore I`m working in several education teams like the Austrian Mountain Guide Association as a coach, and also in the Austrian Skiing Instructor Association, specialized for alpine courses.

Really nice weather with a really good guide. Gernoth were professional and a nice guy. It was a big bonus with all the tips to everyone how to improve the skiing. If we go to Bad Gastein we will definitely hire him again. Thank you for a super day off pist.
