Achensee

Every year, the Splitboard Festival and Testival takes place on the Tyrolean fjord, halfway between Munich and Innsbruck, in the cold hole of the northern Alps, in the snow-rich Karwendel, more precisely in Pertisau at Lake Achensee. Splitboard enthusiasts come together - whether they are experienced splitboarders, beginners or newcomers. Old-school hands who still saw their boards by hand and manufacturers and providers of splitboard tours and camps are also present. This year for the 10th time - congratulations on the anniversary edition. I want to check it out, it's a first for me.

Hohohoho ! It's St. Nicholas Day and if you survived the Krampus yesterday, you can pick up your St. Nicholas present today! In cooperation with Sport Conrad we are giving away TWO home sleeper tickets for the Splitboard Festival from 12.01.-14.01.24 at the Achensee. The prize includes all services of the ALL INCLUSIVE PACKAGE, but without accommodation and meals.

White Risk, the SLF's comprehensive learning/knowledge tool for avalanche prevention, has been around for several years now. While version 1.0 was still distributed via DVDs, White Risk has been web-based and interactive since 2013. The White Risk app for IOS and Android is also available so that you can use the planned tours on your smartphone. I tried out how well the whole thing actually works for you using a tour to the Seekarspitze as an example

This tour is very popular both from the valley and from the gondola station, especially when the snow conditions are good, there are usually tracks and numerous other skiers on the way. However, the terrain is usually quite wide during the descent and offers plenty of space for new tracks!
