Heli-skiing is the ultimate ski experience. With no lifts in sight, you’ll be whisked up a mountain in order to enjoy stunning scenery and fresh, untracked snow with no one else around. For many avid skiers and boarders, heli-skiing is the ultimate buzz.
You don’t have to be an expert skier to enjoy heli-skiing, you just need to be comfortable skiing in powder snow; the whole experience is a very special one indeed.

There is already a tremendous amount of accessible off piste in and around the Arlberg (when you take the right guide!), so why heli-ski? With access to two stunning locations and peaks only reached by helicopter; Mehlsack and Schneetail, you will enjoy peace, quiet and stunning skiing all the way to the Zug valley. Heli-skiing in the Arlberg regon is perfect for first timers wanting a great day out, thanks to the relaxed and steady pitch.
Either ski to the pick up point in Zurs, or be picked up from the highest point in Lech
Available Monday - Friday (no flying on weekends in Austria)
Prices from £160 per person, based on 4 people with a guide and one heli drop
A guide is imperative for safety reasons (Kaluma will recommend an excellent and experienced guide)
Our recommendation for European heli-skiing.
Verbier is a spectacular off-piste playground, but once the accessible parts of the mountain have been tracked out, it really is an amazing experience to be collected by one of Air Glaciers twin engined helicopters and flown to the top of a remote peak and guided down the open powder fields, skiing across and adjacent to, awe inspiring glaciers.

Heli-skiing is illegal across France, however, a short flight in a helicopter, departing from Courchevel 1850 and arriving in the Aosta Valley in Italy, opens up a variety of "drops" for differing abilities.
The majority of heli-skiing in Italy is in the Val d'Aoste: Val Grisenche - La Thuile and Monte Rosa (4633m). You can find the biggest vertical drop in Europe, extreme skiing, couloirs and glaciers but you need to go when the snow is good. Val Grisenche has its own micro-climate meaning you shouldn't rely on the snow cover in neighboring regions for its conditions. The guide will always be on hand to make these decisions for you.
