Description

Petit Combin (3663 m) is part of the Grand Combin’s Massif of the Alps that stands in the west border between Italy and Switzerland, very close to the triple frontier with France. This mountain is well known as a special place for heliboarding. It is also renowned for its 360-degree view of the various surrounding mountains, such as the Cervin and Mont-Blanc.

I will be pleased to guide you along the beautiful slopes that Petit Combin has to offer. We will first enjoy a short but beautiful flight to the top of the mountain. This is already an extraordinary experience with a unique view of the Bagnes Valley.

Then we will have a 2000 meter descent ahead through pristine powder snow. Depending on your snowboarding or skiing skills, this run should take us between 2 to 3 hours in total.

Please let me know your expectations when you send your request! Join me on this awesome private deep-in-the-mountain guided heliboarding day in the Petit Combin. You won’t regret it.

I also lead other similar programs in the Alps. Take a look at the Rosablanche private guided heliski day for some extra fun!

Cher Gilbert, Juste un petit mot pour vous remercier au nom de mon fils Axel pour cette merveilleuse journée que vous lui avez fait passer dans nos belles montagnes valaisannes. En plus avec un groupe sympathique, c’est une journée qui restera gravé dans sa mémoire avant qu’il ne reparte hier soir pour reprendre le cours de ses études. En vous réitérant mes remerciements, Meilleures salutations,

Some times u meet people you call "mentors" in your work, or in your life. Very proud of the book of my friend and free-ride instructor for the last 8 years! In the book marked the steepest couloir I ever ride in my life (couloir d'Arpette). Thank you Gilbert

Bonjour Anne-Françoise, La sortie de samedi dernier m’a entièrement ravi : excellente ambiance, baptême de l’air paisible, parcours de toute beauté sous l’œil attentif et encourageant de Peter, bref un grand moment de ski, en prime sous un ciel parfaitement dégagé ! Bravo pour l’organisation, en ce compris la navette de retour et la livraison sur place des packs de sécurité. Merci pour tout et….à la prochaine !!!
