Description

Splitboarding through the Silvretta Alps in Austria is a must for anybody who wants to traverse the Austrian peaks. It is a traditional, yet breathtaking route that you will never forget.

This 7 day trip will both literally and figuratively take you up near the clouds and not let you down until the final day. And that is because during the days you will be up in the peaks of the Silvretta Alps, climbing and descending, and at night, you will be staying in a different mountain hut on those very same peaks.

The mountain huts along the route we will be taking are incredibly popular. And that’s because they are not only comfortable, offering a great respite from a full day of splitboarding, but the unique views each one offers can’t be beat.

When it comes to the peaks you will be climbing and descending, they include the following:

Mount Brete Krone (3,079m)
Piz de Val Gronda (2,812m)
Piz Buin (3,312m)
Silvrettahorn (3,244m)
Dreilanderspitze (3,197m)

The ascents during this trip aren’t too difficult or technical, so you don’t have to be a mountaineering expert to enjoy them, but some experience is a plus. And because we will be splitboarding for approximately 4-5 hours a day, you should be physically fit as well.

The Silvretta Alps are a great place for any splitboarder to explore. And for 7 days, I know you will have a great time. So send me a request, come to Ischgl, and let the adventure begin!

Would you like to splitboard through the eastern Alps of Switzerland? If so, then come and join me on this week long adventure that involves ascending and descending the gorgeous Piz Bernina.

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!

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.
