Tourski & Splitboard Camps Austria
The Tourski & Splitboard camp Austria is a short ski adventure in Arlberg and surroundings (for both tour skiers as splitboarders) where we focus on touring and avalanche safety. With as base of operations a hotel in Bludenz (or vicinity) we have the choice to tour in 5 valleys: Klostertal, Brandnertal, Grosseswalsertal, Montafon and Walgau up to Rheintal (Switzerland). From our hotel We drive about 30 minutes to one of these surrounding top touring and freeride areas. The exact location where we will tour will be decided by the guide depending on the weather and snow conditions at the time. Sleep we do in our hotel in Bludenz. So we spend the night not in a mountain hut.
All this will be done under the direction of Irian Van Helfteren, Austrian ski instructor 'Staatlich Geprüfter' snowboard instructor and "snowboardführer" (guide) and also the first Dutchman to qualify for the Freeride World Tour!

However, you must have a good on-piste level and all some experience have off-piste. Much attention is paid to material knowledge, engineering and avalanche safety. We'll teach you everything involved in touring and look for beautiful descents and routes. After attending this camp, you will have the basic have laid to participate in one of our other tourski & splitboard trips, or the level 2 camp, which requires a little more experience.

Irian is a Austria's "Staatlich Geprüfter" ski and snowboard instructor and "snowboardführer" who is thus allowed to guide off-piste and backcountry. Since 2003 he has lived in the Alps, guided in several countries around the world, and competed in downhill and big mountain competitions including the Freeride World Tour. In other words, he possesses a extremely good knowledge of the area and the required expertise around avalanche safety.
Safety Equipment
For each participant is safety equipment including backpack, avalanche pager, shovel and probe mandatory. As a backpack advise we have a airbag. Everyone should yourself safety equipment take away or can those hire from us.
Insurance
Finally, we require each participant to provide a Proof of purchase of travel insurance specifically for off-piste skiing and snowboarding for the entire period of the trip. An example is short-term travel insurance with winter sports/special winter sports coverage at Allianz or KBF. Call and email your insurer in advance, explain what you will be doing and make sure you have a good understanding of what all is covered and what the exceptions are! If desired, we will help you find the correct insurance.
