Description
Would you like to spend a week discovering this breathtaking snow paradise?
Then you should join us on this heliskiing week into the Alps region of Val Formazza, Piedmont!
Val Formazza is known as the “Alps' Little Canada" for it’s high-quality snow. This beatifull valley is located in Piedmont, Italy, surrounded by three imposing mountain peaks: Blinnenhorn (3,373m), Basodino (3,270m) and Ofenhorn (3,250m)
Thanks to its altitude (about 1,800 meters above sea level), you will find excellent snow conditions in Val Formazza. This area probably has the most potential for heli-skiing in all of the Alps, providing 120 square kilometers to explore. It's a true powder paradise.
Heliskiing is definitely the ultimate experience for skiers. First, you will be amazed by the beautiful landscapes you'll see from the helicopter. And then, the indescribable pleasure of skiing on virgin snow where nobody goes. We guarantee around 21 runs throughout the entire tour (15,000 vertical feet).
Our guides manage heliskiing in Val Formazza exclusively, so they have extensive experience. We prefer a maximum of four participants in each group to ensure a high-end and safe service, with no helicopter delays.
And if all this is not enough to convince, you'll be staying at the Wasler Schtuba, a pleasant 3-star hotel with traditional alpine style rooms. Its restaurant offers the best of local gastronomy and a wide variety of wines.
The first day we’ll meet at 5 pm in the hotel for equipment checking, program preview and safety briefing. After that, we’ll have dinner at the hotel restaurant. From the second to the sixth day it’s time for heliskiing. In case of bad weather we can offer an alternative skiing tour around Devero, Val Formazza and San Domenico. On the last day we can still heliski until 1PM, before the tour ends.
What are you waiting for? Go ahead and contact us for this unforgettable heliskiing adventure. It will be our great pleasure to guide you through this unique powder snow paradise!
And if you are looking for another amazing heliskiing opportunity in the Italian Alps, you should take a look at our heliskiing week on Southwest face of Mont Blanc!
