Description

This Val d'Aran off piste snowboard course will teach you to use your splitboard or snow rackets to make the most out of your backcountry experience!

I'll teach you how to use the gear correctly. Also I'll show you techniques to enjoy the slopes no matter what the snow conditions are. And, off course, safety will be a big part of the course. You'll learn to climb peaks and surf them down taking the necessary precautions. Please note that this course can only be taught in Spanish.

Indeed, the course won't be just out in the slopes. You'll learn how to correctly read the weather forecast and chose your mountain approach based on the conditions. So this will give you freedom to see and use the mountain in a much bigger way. Now your imagination will be the only limit!

Plus, I can combine this course to make it for snowboarders and skiers. Hence, if you have friends who ski, we can make a mixed group.

So please don’t hesitate to contact me for this Val d'Aran off piste snowboard course. And specify all your requests so I’ll get everything ready for you.

And if you’d like to check out some of my other winter courses, please take a look at my Val d’Aran ice climbing course or my Val d'Aran avalanches course.

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.
