My goal

Heliskiing on Monte Rosa doesn’t happen every day, but only when conditions are right. The valleys of Monte Rosa, with their spectacular descents of remote and sublime beauty, offer opportunities accessible both by skinning and ski lifts. Often, heliskiing isn’t essential for making our adventures truly fantastic. However, when practiced with care and respect for the environment, it adds value that we enthusiastically welcome when it arises. Heliskiing is an unexpected opportunity that enriches the experience, adding a special element for those who love to soar.

Heliskiing on the glacier is permitted for a maximum of 4 participants per guide. Safety kits (AVALANCHE transceiver, shovel, and probe) and an ABS backpack are mandatory.

Day 0
Connect with your ski guide. We’ll go over equipment details and tailor the plan for the upcoming heliskiing day, factoring in the weather and snow conditions. If heliskiing isn’t feasible due to unfavorable conditions, we’ll ensure you experience the best snow, making it an epic day nonetheless!

Day 1
We’ll go heliskiing as planned together, but if it’s not worth it, you’ll know the day before that you’ll ski from 9 AM to 4 PM, exploring the best alternatives with us, without missing a single minute of your snow vacation.

Ski clothing, off-piste skis or ski mountaineering skis, artva, shovel, probe and harness (if you need to rent, ask us, we will be happy to recommend the most suitable equipment).

FAQ #1 – What is the FREERIDE PARADISE?
Alagna and Gressoney are known as “Freeride Paradise” for the many off-piste itineraries in the area. These locations are renowned for their natural beauty, diverse ski terrain, and opportunities to experience the freedom of off-piste skiing in untouched and uncontrolled areas.
FAQ #2 – Can I book a heliski day with a mixed group of friends, including snowboarders and skiers?
Certainly, no problem. However, you should be aware that not all itineraries are suitable for both disciplines, and skiers may be limited in the number of descents possible.
FAQ #3 – How is a heliski day organized?
You will have an initial meeting with the guide who will create the most suitable itinerary for the group, taking into account the best snow conditions.
FAQ #4 – Can the proposed experiences change?
Certainly! The experiences we offer depend on snow conditions and weather. The assigned guide will suggest similar but alternative routes if the booked excursion is not suitable for the chosen date.
