I started snowboarding in 1996 and have dedicated my life to this sport since 2005, spending several seasons Down Under and travelling and exploring the mountains in different corners of the world with my snowboard and splitboard.

I became an Austrian State certified Snowboard Guide in 2012. I'm based in Zillertal, Austria, where I guide snowboarding and freeriding tours during the winter. I also organize trips to the Caucasus in Georgia and, for heliboarding, I put together private week-long trips in Romanian Carpathian Mountains.

In The Springtime, I usually guide in one of my favorite areas on planet: the Norwegian Arctic. Splitboarding between the fjords and the Lyngen Alps is a one-of-a-kind experience!

Boasting some of the largest fjords and coastal glaciers in the world,  the Greenland East Coast is a veritable paradise for splitboarding enthusiasts!

After meeting up at our pre-determined location, we will transfer to the Comrades, our custom-fitted expedition vessel and sail trawler, before sailing to the Greenland East Coast.

While we may not to be able to go on a spitboarding tour every single day (this depends on the weather), we will do our best to get out onto the coastal mountains and glaciers of this incredible country.

Among the numerous highlights of our trip will be splitboarding on the Scoresbysund fjord as well as many other parts of the East Coast. Depending on ice conditions, we may even be able to head to Constable Point, the highest fjord on earth, and careen down from this summit to the stunning sea shore below.

When we are not out on our boards exploring this remote and unique island, we'll have the comfort of our personal yacht to enjoy.

Along with the opportunity to do some sea kayaking during the day, in the evenings we will have the chance to relax in the sauna or hot tub after eating a freshly prepared meal from our own personal chef.

By the time you have to return home, you'll already be looking into your next trip to this pristine part of the Arctic.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this unforgettable 15-day splitboarding adventure on the Greenland East Coast!

Situated in the northwestern tip of Iceland, the Westfjords is a mountainous peninsula and makes for the perfect spring splitboarding destination!

The fun begins after we meet up at the Ísafjörður Airport and board the Comrades, our custom-fitted expedition vessel and sail trawler. From this small city, we will sail out and explore the mountainous shorelines of the various fjords on the peninsula.

Each day, we'll sail to a different spot in the Westfjords and head to land. From here, we'll make numerous 700 to 1,400-meter ascents up into the coastal mountains, enjoying phenomenal views before racing back down to the beach.

When we're not out on the slopes, we'll be able to enjoy the amenities on the yacht, such as the sauna and hot tub, or go sea kayaking.

In the evening, after enjoying a dinner cooked by our private chef, we will go above deck and keep our eyes peeled for the breathtaking Northern Lights.

By the end of our week, we'll have made a big loop around the Westfjords and enjoyed the incredible views of its coastal mountains.

Join me in the wilds of Romania for a 1-week heli-boarding and splitboarding adventure!

After meeting up (either in Munich or Timisoara, depending on your preference), we will make a plan for the rest of our week and head out onto the slopes of the Carpathian and Tarcu Mountains.

On two days of the trip, we will hop in the helicopter and head out to some more remote parts of the mountain range. Making about five runs each day, we’ll get to try out a variety of terrains and see some of this country’s incredible scenery.

We follow up our heli-boarding adventure with a catskiing fly-in. Picking out one especially scenic spot, we’ll get dropped there in the morning and spend the day making run after run, hopefully 10 in all.

We will also have the chance to do some splitboarding, which combines climbing in skis and skins with snowboarding back down.  We will spend an additional couple of days splitboarding a bit closer to where we stay too, enjoying even more of Romania and Timisoara’s natural beauty as well as making some phenomenal runs.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for an amazing 7-day heli-boarding and splitboarding expedition out into the heart of the Romanian Carpathian and Tarcu Mountains!

Are the temperatures beginning to creep up, but you’re still yearning for one last splitboarding adventure?

Then join me at the top of the world for a 1-week splitboarding expedition to the Svalbard archipelago this May!

Each day, we will head out onto a different part of the island chain, making some memorable ascents, before combining our board and careening down the still-pristine powder.

Before we make those epic descents, we’ll be sure to take in the scenery of Svalbard, which has an other worldly beauty. Completely devoid of trees, it will only be us, the mountain, the snow and the fjords.

While we’re up there, we’ll be sure to check out Spitsbergen, which is located in the mountainous northwest of the archipelago. Here, we’ll make various 1.000 or so meter ascents, before plunging back down toward the sea.

Since we are based out of a yacht, we will be able to take in a variety of different parts of the archipelago and make up to three ascents and descents each day, weather permitting.

We may even get the chance to see a polar bear while we’re on the archipelago!

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this unforgettable 1-week splitboarding experience up in the wilds of Svalbard, at the top of the world!

Splitboarding & sailing week in Svalbard (Spitzbergen), Norway

Just as the splitboarding season is winding down in the Alps and Central Europe, a brand new one is getting underway up in Scandinavia!

Join me for what is sure to be the holiday of a lifetime as we spend 7 days splitboarding throughout the remote and picturesque Lyngen Alps in northern Norway!

After meeting up in Tromso, we will immediately head out on the yacht and set sail northward. Over the course of our week together, we will aim to climb as much as we can and enjoy long, pristine runs back down to sea level.

With numerous mountains between 700 and 1.100-meters above sea level, there are plenty of options. Few roads mean that we’re likely to have many of the slopes to ourselves as well, which means untouched snow and unlimited runs.

When we are not out on the slopes, we’ll be able to enjoy a bit of downtime on the expedition yacht. There will be plenty of opportunities to fish as we cruise from one fjord to the next. We will also enjoy plenty of excellent home-cooked meals on board.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this once in a lifetime splitboarding adventure to the Lyngen Alps well above the Arctic Circle in Norway!
