Austria experiences heavy snowfall and cold temperatures throughout most of Winter, and this combined with the abundance of excellent mountains and areas to splitboard on make it the ideal destination for this activity. Austria is one of the epicentres of splitboarding in the Alps, the conditions are some of the best in Europe, and easy access to the challenging areas make it a must-visit place for splitboarding enthusiasts.

Epic Scenery

The archetypal alpine scenery of snow-capped forests and mountains, as well as peaceful, mesmerizing glacial lakes is Austria in a nutshell, and when splitboarding you will be able to take in sweeping panoramic views over them, with huge valleys stretching out beneath, the lights of the villages and towns being the only respite from the raw natural beauty.

Complex History & Culture

Austria has a long, distinguished, rich, fascinating and controversial history, and there is much to explore and discover about it. The capital city of Vienna is a true cultural mecca, with a seemingly endless supply of museums, art galleries, parks and music halls to attend, and other cities such as Salzburg and Innsbruck are just as delightful. There are also numerous cosy and quaint alpine villages and towns in the countryside, with many more local cultures and histories to discover.

Great experience! My only suggestion would be to specify better the equipment needed (e.g. when booking on the website it was mentioned \"the guide has all needed safety equipment\", but after booking the guide then specified you needed to provide your own skins for the crosscountry walking etc., which was news to us). The rest was perfect!

Absolutely incredible trip. Rok knows exactly where the best snow is and will go out of his way to ensure you push yourself whilst staying safe. I couldn\'t recommend it enough.

Super day! we skied untracked snow all day. Mathias managed to plan the trip just up to our skill level. And that’s is what you get from a good guide, he have to quickly find the right level for the group. Made the day wery exiting but safe. We did a lot of steep skiing and some steep booting but felt safe all day. We used skins to get the best areas, and some booting with ski on backpack. Recommended to get to the best areas! Our best reviews for Mathias!

Etienne is a great guide with plenty of mountain knowledge and experience. He expertly guided the 4 of us across the Silvretta Alps, through conditions both white-out and blue sky, starting at Ischgl and staying in mountain huts in Austria and Switzerland. His passion for the mountains is evident and we felt very safe in his risk adverse hands. Etienne speaks perfect English and has a good sense of humour, which made for good company at the card table in the evenings. I would recommend him to anyone and look forward to touring again with him next year. Andy

Renato was a fantastic guide and very professional. He was well prepared and very experienced. We got unlucky and got stuck in some very bad weather one day and he did an amazing job of leading our group out of a bad situation. The Silvretta traverse was a great trip - beautiful mountains and very nice huts to spend the nights. I would definitely recommend both Renato and this tour!

We had a wonderful day skiing down to Fiberbrunn with our guide Mathias Leo. He found deep light powder snow. The snow was unexpectedly good considering it had not snowed for many weeks! It is only guides with the best knowledge that can find good conditions long after the last snow fall. The smiles remained on our faces the whole day :) Henrik

Our group of six have just returned from a magical four day tour of the Silvretta Traverse. The sun shone, the snow was superb and all the while Renato led us with a mixture humour, patient consideration and under-stated authority. He taught us the key skills of ski touring, including vital avalanche training and other mountaineering craft. Renato was excellent company throughout and I could not recommend him more highly. A true gent of the mountains.

Really enjoyed a day of off piste with Mathias. We were lift-serviced with some short hikes and traverses and found plenty of fresh powder! If you are honest about what you want, and your group\'s abilities, then Mathias will create an experience that works!
