| Heli skiing
in Verbier |
| |
Most European countries have strictly limited the practice of heliskiing. Switzerland has proposed an innovative Swiss compromise that limits the landing to some restricted areas.
Verbier is located in a central location for heliskiing and up to four different landing places can be reached by a 15 min flight. Four landing places but lots of different runs, chosen by your guide for the best skiing.
Heliski Verbier packages range from a single flight with up to 1500 metres of vertical to a full 6 day guided program.
Single flight - This program includes a helicopter flight and an off-piste descent (aprox 1300-1500 metres) with an experienced Alpine Guide who will choose the best descent on offer according to snow conditions.
Other options range from a full day of heliskiing with up to 4500 vertical meters over 3 descents, to a full 6 days of heliskiing with up to 15000 vertical meters skiing in the Aosta Valley and parts of Switzerland and France . Ask us for details and a customised trip at info@alpine-dreams.com
