Splitboarding weekend

Splitboarding hut weekend

Backcountry guiding

This splitboarding hut weekend is based around the Heidelberger Hütte. Throughout the trip, we aim to gain as much elevation as possible in search of good snow and new peaks. As a result, the weekend makes an ideal warm-up for the Lofoten trip.

On the first day, we’ll meet in Ischgl, take the lift up, and ride a few lines within the resort. After lunch, however, we’ll venture deeper into the valley and begin the splitboard ascent toward the hut, arriving in the late afternoon. In the evening, following dinner, we’ll plan the tour for the next day.

Depending on the group’s fitness level and technical skills, we’ll typically cover between 500 and 1,000 vertical meters per day. Overall, these days are suitable for snowboarders of all levels, ranging from beginners to experienced splitboarders. If weather conditions are not ideal for touring, we’ll instead remain near the hut to focus on avalanche safety, snow stability, and splitboarding techniques.

The hut

Heidelberger Hütte is a wonderful place, with a warm and welcoming host who provides us with dinner and breakfast. From here, you can go on several tours directly along the Swiss/Austrian border. The rooms are simple and can accommodate 2 to 10 people comfortably. The hut is located in a romote valley at 2264m, offering the possibility to tour a few 3000m peaks. Within a 30-minute ride downhill, you’ll reach the Ischgl ski resort.

Is my level good enough for this Splitboarding hut weekend?

Each day, we spend between 3 and 6 hours splitboarding at a steady pace while covering 500 to 1,000 vertical meters. This approach allows time to enjoy the surroundings, take breaks, and fully experience the backcountry without feeling rushed. Ultimately, the ascent is rewarded with descents through varied terrain, where riders should feel confident in powder snow on slopes of up to 35 degrees. Since conditions can vary from deep powder to more challenging snow, prior off-piste experience and solid riding skills are recommended.

If you’re unsure whether your level is suitable for this tour, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re always happy to assess your ability, answer any questions, and help guide you toward the right experience—whether you’re new to splitboarding or already experienced.
