The splitboarding hut weekend will be spent around the Heidelberger Hütte. We will aim to cover as much elevation gain as possible to prepare you for the next step, whether it’s a splitboard hut traverse or a splitboarding trip to Norway.
On the first day, we will meet in Ischgl, take the lift up, and ride some lines within the resort. After lunch, we will move further into the valley and splitboard up to the hut, where we expect to arrive in the late afternoon. Following dinner, we will outline the tour for the next day. Depending on the group’s fitness level and snowboarding skills, we anticipate covering around 500 to 1000 vertical meters each day. This structure is designed to welcome and suit a wide range of snowboarders, including those with very little off-piste experience and individuals who have completed several splitboarding tours. If the weather does not cooperate to make a splitboard tour, we have the option to ride within the resort, analysing the snow stability, avalanche training and delve into splitboarding techniques.
The 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 the middle of nowhere at 2264m, offering the possibility to tour a few 3000m peaks. Within a 30-minute ride downhill, you’ll reach the Ischgl ski resort.
