Reasons To Heliski With Us
by Val HeliSki | Sep 11, 2014 |
- We have 32 drop zones spread over three independent heliski areas, all within easy access from France – giving us huge choice of terrain, snow conditions and mountain orientation.
- Only use local Italian UIAGM Mountain Guides (they have all grown up in the area so are experts in the local surroundings) for heliskiing.
- Only the most sophisticated safety equipment is used (ABS airbags, Ortovox transceivers, and Haglofs backpacks).
- We dedicate 30 minutes to avalanche training, including transceiver use.
- Our helicopters are chosen for their fantastic manoeuvrability and safety record in the mountains (AS 359 B3 Squirrel, AS355 N Eurocopter, AW 119 Koala).
- Our heli preparation course includes extra training in using the safety equipment.
- We have a corporate background and a lot of experience in the area, resulting in a streamline experience/product/service.
- We encourage heli transfers at the end of your final descent back into France to avoid the overcrowded run back to France.
- We provide an all inclusive door to door service so there is no need to organise lift passes, taxis, lunches, etc. The only thing you need to think about is the heliskiing.
- You don’t pay for any heliskiing you don’t get to do due to adverse weather conditions.
- All clients are provided with Go Pro video cameras and given chance to invite friends and family to our après ski bar to see the footage of your day on the big screen.
- We are in the process of building our own Val Heliski Lodges to get France’s only Canadian-style heli lodge experience.
