The Trip

This trip is for snowboarders who feel comfortable riding red and black runs and have at least some experience riding in powdery conditions. No splitboard experience is required, but if you have splitboarded before - that's great! We'll refresh your memory on how your equipment is set up and maintained.

Sainte Foy offers a range of terrain perfect for building up your off-piste and touring skills, while developing your understanding and appreciation of riding in the backcountry. You'll develop mountain skills, build confidence and discover an appreciation of another aspect of the mountain.

Weather permitting, we'll spend a night in a mountain refuge. A unique and magical adventure to experience the raw simplicity of the mountain. After a tour into the backcountry, we'll enjoy a hearty home-cooked dinner, cosy rest before touring out the next day. Truly getting away from it all!

This is a camp run by experienced mountain professionals with a love of sharing their passions with you. It is a rare and golden opportunity to delve into the world of splitboarding and touring, meet like minded riders and progress your snowboarding in an encouraging and nurturing environment.
