Advanced and expert splitboarding courses at Presset hut with a guide

What is the program for the advanced and expert splitboard courses at the Presset Refuge, and who are they for?

Required level

For these splitboard courses at the Presset refuge, prior experience in splitboarding and backcountry snowboarding is required. Snowboarders must have already completed several day trips and/or multi-day tours in splitboard and know how to use the touring equipment independently (splitboard, bindings, skins, crampons).

Level 3 - Advanced

  • I practice regular sports activities and can sustain efforts of 5 to 6 hours in the mountains up to 3000 m altitude. I can handle between 1000 m and 1500 m of positive elevation gain per day over 3 to 4 consecutive days.
  • I regularly ride off-piste and/or use a splitboard. I feel comfortable in powder, packed, and crusty snow, but I still face some challenges on icy snow. I consistently control my speed and trajectory on slopes of 35° and passages of 40°. I execute my frontside turns well on 35° slopes but feel less confident during backside turns.

  • Level 4 - Expert

  • I practice one or more endurance sports several times a week and can sustain efforts of more than 6 hours in the mountains up to 3000 m altitude. I can handle 1500 m of positive elevation gain per day over 3 to 4 consecutive days.
  • I regularly ride off-piste and/or use a splitboard. I feel comfortable in all types of snow (powder, icy, packed, crusty). I consistently control my speed and trajectory on slopes of 40° and passages of 45°. I execute both frontside and backside turns well on 40° slopes.
  • Program

    Each day of the course corresponds to an outing day in splitboarding: you will need to provide a picnic and something to drink for the first touring day. The difficulty of each hike varies according to the level of the group.
