SAVOIE HELISKI
The Heliski Professionals
Packages & Pricing
Your Options:
You have two main options:-
-
You can chose to book the entire helicopter, irrespective of the number in your party (max 4 clients with a single helicopter and one instructor, or a maximum 8 clients with two helicopters and two instructors.)
-
Alternatively, you can reserve a single place on the trip and join our group waiting list for any available date and we will actively try to find other skiers / boarders to join you, sharing the cost .
All trips leave from the Heli departure point in the ski resort of La Rosière - about a 45 minute transfer from most of the surrounding resorts in the 3 Vallées, La Plagne / Paradiski, Tignes, Les Arcs etc.
La Rosière is on the French / Italian border giving us access to an outstanding choice of wide open bowls, long powder filled descents and steeper more testing couloirs - however, the routes will be chosen by our team and adapted to your ability.
Naturally, our trips are weather dependent. The conditions must be safe for both the helicopter and skiers. In the event that we have to delay a trip, we will always try for the next suitable day in the same week. If conditions are not suitable, you will be refunded in full.

Heli-Explorer
€600pp
Reserve a single seat on the Heli-Explorer Trip, joining a small goup for a full day away from the crowds, exploring the magnificent, wide open bowls and untracked descents high above La Thuile.

Insurance
Skiing / boarding is a high risk sport and if you are making the booking, it is your responsibility to ensure that everyone in your group is adequately insured.
All skiers and boarders must have insurance which includes off-piste cover. You can read more about insurance in our T's & C's here.
Uniquely, for our heli-ski trips, we provide a lift pass as part of the package. For all other instruction, including our workshops, you must purchase the relevant area lift pass.
Ski & Avalanche Equipment Hire
The package price does not include the hire of your ski / board or safety equipment unless stated. For all Heli-Ski trips an up to date, recently serviced airbag back pack is required and for most off-piste lessons, guiding and ski touring, specialist equipment will be required for your safety.
We will advise you what will be required when you book.
There are many hire shops in the area and you are able to reserve your equipment on line with our preferred suppliers by visiting the Safety Gear page.
