BEHIND THE INSPIRATION
Our discerning clients, in search of the ultimate adventure, approach us with specific ideas about heli-skiing. They rely on us to explore options, gather details, and provide comprehensive yet concise proposals. We present exceptional heli-skiing destinations in the Swiss Alps and the French Alps, both offering world-class experiences, breathtaking natural beauty, challenging terrain, and outstanding service. While both locations provide unparalleled skiing opportunities, we have made subtle distinctions between them, considering factors such as terrain, atmosphere, ambiance, access, and infrastructure.
Safety Considerations: Given the remote and potentially hazardous nature of these experiences, we work closely with local representatives, heli-skiing companies, and certified guides to ensure all safety protocols are in place. This includes avalanche safety gear, helicopter rescue services, and experienced guides to guarantee a safe and exhilarating adventure.
JOURNEY BLUEPRINT
We discussed several destinations, and they chose to go for Zermatt, nestled at the base of the iconic Matterhorn. It is one of the world’s most exclusive and sought-after ski destinations, offering an extraordinary heli-skiing experience that promises both breathtaking terrain and minimal crowds. The après-ski scene is also sophisticated.
The experience began with a thorough briefing from an experienced guide on avalanche safety, including how to use the avalanche beacon, as well as the plan for the day.
The adventure took flight with a helicopter ride, piloted by skilled experts intimately familiar with the region’s terrain and weather conditions. Once airborne, the group was treated to breathtaking aerial views of the Swiss Alps, surrounding peaks, and glaciers, before landing in the heart of the alpine wilderness.
On the ground, skiers were led by expert mountain guides, renowned for their skill in navigating this complex terrain. These guides, attuned to the protocols essential for heli-skiing, curated a tailored experience, selecting the best runs based on each skier’s skill level and preferences.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
The heli-skiing season in Swiss Alps typically runs from mid-December to early April, with the best conditions usually occurring between January and March. The region’s high-altitude terrain ensures reliable snow conditions throughout the season.
