Freeride Day Sella Nevea / Bovec (Monte Kanin)

Freeriding at Sella Nevea with all difficulty levels in a high alpine atmosphere at 2.700m sea level. And – at good conditions – the longest freeriding downhills in this region as a highlight

Your freeriding day at Sella Nevea / Bovec (Monte Kanin) will be customized to your wishes: There are so many possibilities in the area that all difficulty and mood levels can be fulfilled. During the first downhill we’ll check your skiing skills. Then we’ll either choose a more relaxing option nearby the skiing slopes or, with the right conditions, explore the extraordinary downhills all the way down to the south and northfaces. The area of Monte Kanin is definately also something for freeriding beginners – solid skiing skills on the slopes presupposed. If you want to improve your offpiste skiing technique first, you can do this here. In case you are interested in freetouring with ascents up to an hour, then please let us know when making your booking. The area offers some great, relatively demanding options. However, due to the high alpine terrain you should have some previous experience with skitouring.

Meeting point is at 8:45 a.m. at the valley station of the skiing area Sella Nevea directly in front of the ticket office. In case someone wants to sleep in or be the first one on the slopes (we know: „no friends on powder days“): just ask us regarding a different meeting time!

We choose the freeriding downhills individually, thereby completely taking into consideration your skills, wishes and the latest weather and snow conditions. All this we check on our first 400m long downhill from one of the summit stations down to bottom of the glacier. If the conditions are good and you are up to it, we can choose whatever the conditions are offering. From gentle slopes up to very steep gullies and faces with long downhills up to 1500m in altitude difference.

Our freeriding day finishes at approximately 3:30 p.m. (if we ski down to Sportgastein a bit later)

For the Freeride Day at Monte Kanin a secure skiing technique for offpiste downhills with steep slopes up to 35 degrees is a must. If you wish and the conditions allow, it is also possible to go for scarps up to 40 degrees (or even steeper). Also for the standard downhills you should have enough fitness for skiing in the terrain for a minimum of 30 minutes per freeriding downhill.

“Freeriding at Sella Nevea is especially with good weather a real highlight: The amazing landscape in the middle of the Julian Alps National Park, the view from Großglockner (Austria’s highest mountain) towards Triglav (Slovenian Highest Peak) combined with a great spectrum from easy, but generous downhills to impressive steep downhills. And this all in a tree free high alpine area on heights between 2.600m and 1.200m above sea level.

Especially impressive with the right conditions are definately the 1.500m long downhills from one of the peaks of Kanin ridge (2.587m) toward the valley of Sella Nevea or Bovec. These count to the longest freeride downhills in the Julian Alps – no matter if you take the relatively sophisticated “normal downhill” or with perfect conditions go for the extreme downhills taking the Eastern or Northern side.”
