Return minibus transfers from your chalet to an Italian heliski base are included in the price. However you can upgrade to heli-transfers on request and extra descents are available at €249 per person per descent. If the group cannot complete all the descents due to adverse weather conditions we will refund at a rate of €249 per person, per descent missed. Heliski descents could be in either: Courmayeur, Valgrisenche or the Col du Petit St Bernard – depending on time of year; snow conditions and groups preferences.
We can also help find you accommodation, on your request, to fully integrate your experience with us.

SAMPLE ITINERARY:
DAY 1
You have our guide to yourself and can choose from our wide range of off-piste activities; either a day off piste guiding around your local resort or a Heli Preparation Day in your local resort with a VHS guide or instructor for warm up, off piste pointers, equipment training and a great day exploring the off piste. You could also make this an extra Heliski day using our day rate package prices. The beauty of our location and huge choice of off-piste activities means we can suit all weather and group preferences.
DAY 2
Your group has the choice out of the following 3 packages to be chosen based on ability level, skiers or snowboarders, snow conditions and your guides suggestions:
(1). Full day reverse Heliski departing the Espace Killy: or
(2). Multi-Resort Reverse Heliskiing – one or two resorts ( more resorts can be added on the day if you request) ; or
(3). Tarentaise Tour with heli pick up
DAY 3
Your package includes 2 Heliski drops and we will endeavour to show you the best snow conditions and most suitable terrain for the group out of our three different heliski areas available to us as each has their own special terrain and makes for a totally unique day. A heliskiing day typically begins around 7-7:45am with a (return) minibus transfer going to La Rosiere, followed by a warm-up ski over to the Italian heliski base. From there we access the Italian drop-zones. Most of our fit customers do around 3 drops per day – our record is 6 in one day – additional drops can be purchased to extend your time on the snow. You can also upgrade to heli-transfers to the Italian heliski base; significantly reducing travel time, maximising your time on snow and making additional drops an extremely viable option. You’ll also save valuable energy – again beneficial if you’re anticipating doing extra drops, or if you feel as though your ability level may be slightly lacking.
