Heliskiing

Your ultimate ski or snowboard experience starts here Imagine being dropped at the top of an untouched mountain; being left with just snow and silence after your pilot departs. You, the mountain, and endless fresh tracks - that's what heliskiing is all about. It's an unforgettable way to celebrate a special occasion and a brilliant ski or snowboard adventure to share with friends. Heliskiing involves booking a ski guide along with a helicopter. Guides charge a set rate of 330€ for the day. Helicopters charge per ‘rotation’, or drop-off. A helicopter's costs are set, so you’ll benefit from filling it and therefore reducing the price per head. French environmental protection laws prevent heliskiing operators from working outside of ski resorts in France due to the noise they cause disturbing wild fauna. Heliskiing in France is therefore only legal if you’re dropped to the top of a chairlift. In Italy and Switzerland heliskiing is legal, though new restrictions will be put into place soon. The options are almost unlimited, but here are a few suggested itineraries to provide an idea of what's possible:
