Description

Come enjoy the Swedish Lapland region with this amazing 3-day heliski trip. We'll have 5,000 square kilometers of skiable terrain to choose from, in an area comprised between Björkliden in the north, Riksgränsen Abisko in the west and the Kebnekaise massif in the south.

There are more than 100 peaks in this area, with elevation ranging from 600 to 1450 meters. In many cases, we will be skiing above the tree line, so we'll ski down quite open terrain. In addition, you'll enjoy very long descents!

This heliski trip is designed for excellent skiers in optimal physical condition. Two and a half helicopter hours are comprised in the price, though it is possible to buy additional time if weather conditions are good.

As an example, these are some of the areas we'll get to ski:

Riksgränsen: Skiing in open terrain above the tree line. Highest elevation: 1000 meters. Longest descent: 4000 meters.
Abisko Alps: Just a 10 minute flight away from Riksgränsen and Björkliden. Highest elevation: 955 meters. Longest descent: 2200 m.
Kåtotjåkka: Typical alpine terrain with many long and steep runs. Highest elevation: 1250 meters. Longest descent: 5500 meters.

Sound tempting? Then come join me on this incredible heliski trip in beautiful Lapland. Contact me to arrange the details! I also offer a 7-day heliski trip in this area. So check it out if you have the availability. I promise you won't have time to get bored!

About the guide

Josef

Mountain Guide

I'm a UIAGM certified guide, skitouring-freeride and heliski guide. I'm a lifelong skier, climber and mountaineer, born in Prachovske skaly, a famous sandstone climbing area in the Czech Republic.
I've personally participated in 13 expeditions to 8thousander peaks and stood 5 times on an 8000m peak. I have guided guests on all continents (7 summits, etc..) in numerous treks, climbing or skitouring expeditions.
I run a guiding company in Prague and work for Patagonia, SKI TRAB and ABS avalanche backpacks. I spend my winter guiding in the Northern hemisphere, including heliski in Lappland (SWE), ski touring in Morocco or enjoying the best powder snow on earth in Japan.
The rest of the time I'm on expeditions in Nepal or South America and I spend most of the summer climbing in my hometown or guiding in the Alps.
I like Czech beer and food, passionate guests and jokes. If I'm not available my team will guide you instead.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
