Far away from the maddening crowds, our guides have chosen a selection of off-piste Heliski itineraries to guarantee you a fantastic and exclusive days skiing!
From January through until April, we offer the possibility to Heliski in three different areas; La Thuile, Val Veny at Courmayeur and Valgrisenche. The departure points are situated at the Heliports of Courmayeur, next to the departure point of the Val Veny cable car, at Bonne in Valgrienche and at Colle del Piccolo San Bernardo in La Thuile (accessible by ski lift).
A good ski level is required; as the season progresses the snow conditions will vary from powder to transformed spring snow. Our guides will be able to inform you ahead of time of the current snow conditions.
For all of the descents, for personal safety reasons, all participants are required to wear an ARVA device, and on glacier descents also a harness is required. On request the organisation can supply this equipment, plus special Freeride skis if required.
