Lynx Freeride Cat Skiing and Snowboarding Discount

Want to ride the Accursed Mountains of Kosovo, at a discounted price?

Lynx Freeride catskiing operation have opened up these forgotten mountains, they even built the 4x4 road in, offering up a near endless possibility of lines.

The Accursed Mountains, known as the Albanian Alps are the southernmost part of the Dinaric Alps, there’s no resorts and little infrastructure so you’re truly off grid, but those with a passion for adventure will be rewarded by a exclusive choice of steep lines, tree runs, and high alpine riding, all accessed by one of the two Lynx Freeride cats.

Backdrop Journal have teamed up with Lynx to offer our readers a sweet discount of up to 15% off, all you need to do is mention Backdrop Journal in your email to Lynx and they’ll discount your week. See a full list of Lynx Freeride Discount Prices and dates below.

If riding a cat isn’t for you then watch this space, as Lynx will be operating splitboard and cat assisted splitboard trips in 2026, hopefully hut to hut trips too.
