When it comes to Madesimo winter is not limited to the beaten tracks. Splitboarding is a new way for you to enjoy the mountains: slowly climbing the white slopes and breathing the cold air in the woods and valleys, before descending the immaculate trails, far from the crowds. Every ascent is an adventure and every descent a reward.

A splitboard is basically a snowboard that can be divided into two halves. On the ascent, these two parts are used like mountaineering skis,with seal skins on the bottom for climbing slopes and valleys. Once at the top, the two parts can be joined together, using a system of fastenings and hooks, to become a classic snowboard for the descent. You don’t need a lift or a prepared route: splitboarding offers you complete freedom to choose your lines and descents. It’s the best way to experience the mountains in close contact with the snow, light and the silence of the high altitudes.

This is a sport for experienced snowboarders seeking an off-piste adventure in safety. But if you want to approach this sport for the first time, then it is advisable to start with an experienced guide, to accompany you every step of the way, with advice on how to move around. At high altitude, among the snowy mountains of Madesimo, every bend, every slope and every minute become an experience to conquer.
