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.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
