Our journey will begin in the Maiella National Park. Many species, including bears and wolves inhabit its territory. This stunning park is also home to the Amaro Mount (2,795 m). And, from its top, we will get the most mesmerizing views of the Adriatic coast.
Then we’ll head to the Gran Sasso National Park, another italian treasure. There, we’ll stay at an enchanting castle restored, to offer us a unique and comfortable experience. The castle is located at Campo Imperatore, a charming alpine meadow that comprises a high basin shaped plateau. This is the ideal location for our splitboarding adventure.
Please note that in order to join this tour you’ll need previous splitboarding experience. The majestic mountains at the Gran Sasso can reach altitudes of more than 3,000 meters. Thus it will be a challenge that will definitely prove to be rewarding once we reach their summits.
We’ll encounter everything a snowboarder could ask for. From altitude variations to different types of terrain, and from panoramic overpasses to thrilling descents! What’s more, the view of the ocean will accompany us all throughout our journey.
Additionally, you’ll get to learn about the local culture and experience the lifestyle of the people that live in this paradise. Also, you’ll be able to try the exquisite local cuisine!
If you are interested in joining this splitboarding trip, send me a request. It will be my pleasure to guide you across this winter wonderland.

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.
