Description

The lovely town of Cholila in the Patagonia province of Chubut is located at the foot of the Andes, a beautiful region to practice winter sports in the cold months. As a ski or snowboard enthusiast you will love exploring some of its most remote spots on one of our private heliski trips! You might even be the first person ever to ski down some of the slopes we discover!

Awe inspiring peaks and glaciers, perfect powder runs, and pristine mountain wilderness will fill our days as we go deeper and deeper into the amazing and remote landscapes of the Andes. Having helicopter access will give us the chance to truly explore the area. We have two helicopters and we will launch every morning straight from our base at the lodge we will stay in. Every day after breakfast we will have a trip briefing and safety check before setting off into the mountains. Then, we will spend the morning skiing until we stop for lunch on the field and finally continue on skiing until we return to the lodge in the evening.

In order to kick start your adventure you will first need to get to Cholila. All you will need to do is fly in to Esquel or Bariloche, and we will take it from there. The beautiful Carrileufu Lodge has spectacular views of the Andes and also a wine cellar, sauna and spa room, so you will be very comfortable during your stay. We will also take care of providing you with delicious, gourmet, nutrient dense meals. This is important because after a long day out in the snow, a hearty dinner and a warm and cozy environment to relax in will ensure that you wake up refreshed for another round of adventure the following day!

Because we will be skiing every day all day, a good fitness level is a must. Prior skiing experience is also preferable. Our itinerary will vary according to your preferences and also to weather and snow conditions. Of course, we will at all times be available to guide and help you.

Are you ready for a unique week of heliskiing in the Andes? Then book your place now and join us on a private week long heliski trip in Patagonia!

For those looking for a shorter excursion, we also offer heliski day trips!

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.
