3-DAY SPLIT-WEEKEND IN ISCHGL
March 6–8, 2020
Are you keen for a splitboard adventure in a backcountry paradise with like-minded people? Then the KORUA split-weekend in Ischgl is a no brainer! Our KORUA ambassadors and certified mountain guides will take you up to the Heidelberger hut at 2,264m to set up base. Known for its beautiful scenery, the surrounding Silvretta Mountain triangle and high alpine landscape offers several accessible peaks for laying down fresh tracks and hammering turns with your new (and old) friends. So gear up and join the KORUA team for a weekend of untouched first runs and plenty of good times. Group sizes will be 4-6 people per guide, and we will have a professional photographer chasing us around to capture some of the action.
