This year’s European Freeride Festival will see a number the big names from the international freeriding circuit. To cap it all off Völkl have teamed up with freeride world champion Aline Bock who is running a special  Split & Freeride Camp. On the camp it will be possible to learn all her powder secrets.

 

Splitboarding is an alpine discipline which allows the snowboarders to access the most remote backcountry areas with a single and dual means: the splitboard. During European Freeride Festival offer freeriders a unique experience where they have the opportunity to join Aline Bock for 3 days, to figure out the tech fundamentals for equipment and athletics. From the uphill hikes featuring the two split halves, to the board and bindings setting, with the aim to rush down the slopes drawing clean lines on the immaculate snow of Livigno.

 

The camp will feature two different aspects: the first will offer an entire day of theoretical and practical lessons about the correct use and setting of the splitboard overall equipment, as well as the topics inherent the safety and risk management in freeriding. It will be followed by two whole days of backcountry tours where Aline will teach the how-to freeride, always guided by the local Alpine Guides, facing a 1,000 mt altitude gap.

 

The camp includes: 3-days Freeride Pass, 3-days lift ticket and the complete equipment kit composed of splitboard, artva, probe pole, shovel and ABS Airbag. The accommodation in the same hotel as Aline, with half-board treatment, will allow you to have fun and chill out with the other camp fellows. The overall cost is of € 490.00.

 

The camp is reserved to 10 participants which will allow for a more personalised approach and a chance to examine each rider and offer useful tips and coaching. Booking is open now but with such a small number of participants make sure you are quick.

 

Camp changes such as no accommodation or the addition of one or more days to the hotel booking are available, please contact [email protected].
