Val d’Aran is located in the Lérida province of Catalonia and belongs to the Pyrenees. It is the ideal spot for winter sports such as snowboarding. On this 2-day introductory off piste snowboarding course in Val d’Aran you will learn everything you need to know to enjoy this exhilarating sport!
During this course, you will learn about climbing snowed slopes and the proper use of snowboarding equipment. In addition, this course includes lessons about reading snow conditions and some avalanche training. You will learn how to use a transceiver, shovel and probe after an avalanche. The main purpose of the course is to provide you with all the necessary tools to go down backcountry slopes safely. Also, take into account that it will be taught in Spanish.
Although this is an introductory course, it is important to have a good fitness level to be a part of it. Some prior background knowledge in mountaineering will make this course much more enjoyable for you. Also, if you want to spend more days on this program, all you have to do is let me know.
Snowboarding is my passion and I would love to share it with you. Send your request and book this trip now. I’m sure you will have a great experience.
