About
Who we are
A small guiding practice built on years of teaching, touring and route-finding.
A small guiding practice built on years of teaching, touring and route-finding.
Snowboard instructor and guide, based between the Alps and whichever range has the best snowpack that month.
Pauda Guides grew out of years spent teaching, touring and route-finding — and a simple idea: guide the way you'd want to be guided. Read the day honestly, keep groups small, and put the rider on the best line that's actually safe. (Placeholder — swap for your real story and certifications.)
Every trip and private day is run by a certified guide who knows the range in front of you — not a rotating pool.
Austrian state diploma. Home range Flims, deep in the Graubünden backcountry.
Touring specialist. Reads spring snowpack and long fjord lines better than anyone.
Hokkaido local. Tree runs, the lightest snow on earth, and where to find it.
Backcountry riding carries real risk. Here's how we manage it — the same standards on a private day as on a flagship trip.
Recognised snowboard-guide and avalanche qualifications, full insurance, and registration in each range. (Replace with your exact certs.)
Daily snowpack and weather assessment, a beacon check every morning, and a route chosen from the bulletin — not a fixed plan.
Four to six riders per guide, so decisions stay conservative and the pace stays yours.
"Best snow week of my life. Found powder three days after the last storm — we'd never have got there alone."
