Heliskiing in Europe means: rapid access and departure, no Jetlag, reasonable prices and last but not least fun and thrill similar to the origin of HeliSkiing Canada. More than 3 dozen of Helicopter landing places various possibilities to ski downhill are offered by (two of the biggest) HeliSkiing regions in Europe. Long runs as well as
difficult ones in the middle of many 3.000 m mountains will offer a wide range for every type of HeliSkiing.

 

 

 


 

Places to land lie up to 3.500 m (Grand Rousse/Valgrisenche) and
up to 3.700 m (Aiguille de Glacier/Courmayeur). They are still
outshined by some fourthousanders (Mt.Blanc, Matterhorn, Monte Rosa, Grand Paradiso). You will not find any ski lifts or cable cars, but you are likely to see eagles, chamois or marmots...

Heli Landing

In the italian village Valgrisenche (1.664 m) you will find very nice people, a delicious and original cooking and medieval buildings with their romantic flair. You can already sense the nature plays a dominant role in this lovely valley, when you are on the 30 km drive towards our hotel. During the winter the area is a paradise for all sorts of sport, especially for HeliSkiing of course.
The spot Courmayeur directly in front of the Mt.Blanc, combine deep diving in nature with the atmosphere of a famous italian skivalley -suitable also for families.

 

 

 

Casa Perret Board/Lodging

Courmayeur: we will based in comfortable Hotel Suisse, from where we will start every morning. The hotel is situated directly
at the accessroad to the Mt.Blanc (European highest mountain: 4.810 m). The hotel has a very nice and warm atmosphere. The
walls are dressed with old wood. Doubleroom, breakfast and the shuttle to the helicopter is included.

Valgrisenche: This hotel is situated just a few meters walk away from the helicopter landing spot. Rooms (double) are simple
but very suitable (normally with shower/bath). The owners are very nice and offer a rich choice of italian food specialities.
We will get full board and all meals in house (Lunch: only if we are in the valley).
Once we are there

After breakfast at about 08.30h a.m. we will meet at the
helicopter for a short briefing and a check of the material
(Orthovox). The helicopter will then drop us off at the
landings spots in groups of four people. We will meet the
rest of the team up there (4 + 1 or 8 + 2). The individual
runs will last from 40 to 90 minutes depending on exoerience,
skills and routes (1.300 - 2.300 meters). It is obligatory to
follow the instruction of our guide who will carefully analize
the snow conditions. Safety first is our rule.
We will experience
a fantastic panorama and countryside but this should not keep our
eyes from the still imminent dangers that nature represents.
Natures forces as weather, Snowfall and avalanches are never 100% predictable. Nevertheless our guide will try to adapt speed and routes to your personal skills and needs.You may then spend the afternoon as you wish. Dinner will be served at ca. 8 p.m.
