Russian Heli-skiing

We have teamed up with one of our most trusted off piste guides and Russia's biggest heli-ski company to offer this exciting destination. With so much unexplored terrain in an area the size of Austria, Germany and Switzerland combined, this truly is skiing in one of the most remote destinations in the world.

In the far East of Russia between the Okhtsk Sea and the Bering Sea you will find the Kamchatka peninsula. With over 200 volcanoes it boasts the highest concentration of volcanoes anywhere on earth. Untarnished by human hands, it allows for some amazing ski exploration.

You will stay at the Hotel Antarius; a 3 star lodge offering thermal hot tubs, swimming pools, standard accommodation, good food and a bar.

Skiing is taken to the next level thanks to the endless powder fields and remote destinations. Suited for both first timers and the experienced heli campaigner as several guides per group allow for break out groups. With the possibility to ski over 50kms of vertical in a week on untracked slopes surrounded by smoking volcanoes, this really is a trip not to be missed.
