Splitboard
The guide will find the ideal spot for you, depending on the snow conditions at the time (La Vallouise, Cerces, Argentierois, Queyras... from 5min to 1h maximum from Vallouise, the playground is impressive!) If you’re a good all-snow snowboarder, and you want to get away from the crowds and discover new horizons, the splitboard will be your personal “helicopter”, giving you the chance to explore wide open spaces and make new tracks!
Our team of guides includes full snowboarders who can not only guide you to the best spots, but also provide you with technical tips for greater safety and pleasure.
Split outings can take two forms:
– Pure splitboarding in wilderness areas with skins on, starting with the ascent, from 500 to 1500m for a classic outing, picnic at the summit and then a descent that’s well deserved and thoroughly enjoyed! Why not link up several ascents and descents if the conditions are right and you feel like it!
– A day of fun starting out from a ski resort (Pelvoux, Puy Saint Vincent, Vars Risoul, Crévoux, Serre Chevalier, La Grave...), with a mix of off-piste close to the resort, or even piste at the start if you need to brush up on your technique and improve your stance to get more out of all-snow skiing, then off pistes runs above the ski lifts to enjoy the beautiful snow you can trace. Ascent gradient varies greatly according to guests preferences.
