The Maira Valley lies in the Piedmont. It is located in the province of Cuneo, in the North West of Italy, and west to the border with France. And it offers endless splitboarding options, for all type of snowboarders.
If you are an intermediate snowboarder, it offers charming and calm areas where you can improve on your skills. But it also has extreme descents for the advanced snowboarders, with altitudes that range from 1,200 to 1,300 meters.
We’ll enjoy the best powder snow, in areas that remain relatively wild. Thus, we’ll stay away from the crowds and the designated spots from the ski resorts. What’s more, the Maira Valley has a very intriguing history. Because of the migration that came in the post-war years, many of the villages in these mountains, are almost completely abandoned. Hence, there is a unique solitude that we’ll experience while venturing across them.
Additionally, the sceneries we’ll get are hypnotizing. There are magnificent peaks, enchanting woods and all the snow we could ask for here!
Moreover, we’ll venture into wild areas, but always close enough to reach the ski resorts and other facilities. A short drive will take us back into civilization, where we’ll enjoy the best italian cuisine and delicious wines.
To join this trip, you need to be in good physical condition, and be able to hike up on snow for 3 to 5 hours daily. Also, you are required to have previous splitboarding experience.
If you have previous experience and wish to join this program, send me a request. I promise it will be a trip you won’t be able to forget!

Mountain Guide
I am a IFMGA certified mountain guide and I'm passionated about nature. I was born in 1977 and before entering in the mountain life, I worked as a teacher in Borg Lienz.
I started training as a canyoning guide 15 years ago. Since 2009, I have also trained with canyoning leaders in Carinthia. Additionally, I have been on the road as a mountain and ski instructor. During the summers, I have guided a lot in Switzerland, where I took my guests to many mountains over 4000 meters high. My “motto” in the mountains and in life has always been the same: “Never stop exploring”
I work now for Carnicoalpin where our main objective is leading and accompanying you on steep mountains and great ski slopes with a particular focus set on safety.
For more information, please feel free to contact me. We can discuss about your wishes and the different options I offer. I will be really happy to be your guide and share a great moment with you!

Tobias was a great guide and companion while we made our way thru the mountains. His knowledge of the terrain, the areas interesting points, history and his read of the mountain conditions kept my son and I engaged and safe - and kept our long-planned adventure on track. The only down side was that the heat this year in the Alps closed the route we had trained for on The Matterhorn while we were in Zermatt, so our focus had to change to surrounding peaks and glaciers. This is where Tobias really brought value. His assessment and alignment of our abilities to the available routes, rocks and glaciers allowed us to find us some fun in the area during our stay, which we genuinely enjoyed and appreciated. We'll be back next year to make another run at The Matterhorn, and we will be engaging Tobias for the effort. He's truly and trustworthy, great guy.

Explore share Have been great to deal with. Unfortunately I'm at a horn tour was not able to go ahead due to unfavorable conditions on the mountain, but our guide Tobias was prompt in providing us with some alternatives which would align with our travel arrangements. Tobias is very competent and knowledgeable about the swiss mountains, throughout our tours together I felt very comfortable and safe considering the alpine environment.
