Description

The Swiss Alps are a mecca for skiers and snowboarders all around the world. Rosablanche, in the heart of the Alps, is particularly  a dream come true. This 1-day guided heliboarding trip is the best way to live a memorable snowboarding and skiing adventure in Rosablanche.

Rosablanche (3,336m) is a mountain in the Pennine Alps, located in the canton of Valais, lying between the Hérémence valley, Le Pleureur valley, the valley of Bagnes and the Dix valley. North of the Rosablanche mountain, you can see two splendid glaciers: Glacier de Prafleuri and Grand Désert.

Rosablanche offers a unique snowboarding and ski touring opportunity. You will enjoy the most amazing descents and dazzling views of the Swiss Alps. Imagine then the breathtaking scenery you could see from above the sky. Picture yourself riding a helicopter to the best snowboarding and skiing spots, places that otherwise would be almost impossible to reach.

One of the best things of this trip is that at the end of our descent there will be someone waiting for us ready to bring us back to the hotel.

I manage all my trips under the highest safety standards: all the equipment we use is the best, particularly the ABS airbag system, designed to reduce risks.  Also, I guarantee that every one in the team, including my assistants, pilots and drivers are the most qualified.

My goal is that you enjoy this whole experience not worrying about anything. I take care of everything, from transport and accommodation to finding the best snowboarding and skiing spots. Your only task will be to enjoy this thrilling adventure.

So if you find this proposal interesting and want to live an exclusive and memorable experience, please send me a request. I will be happy to discuss all the details of our trip to make sure it suits your requests.

Olivier our guide was excellent and we would use him again. Unfortunately, we didn't do any Backcountry skiing due to the poor and dangerous conditions. I think Explore-Share should have been more proactive in keeping us informed of the conditions and the fact that it didn't allow for backcountry skiing; we forfeited a day with our guide given the conditions were so bad and the only option was to ski on piste. Further, I would have expected Explore-Share to advise us of the extra cost of the avalanche gear (an extra 600 francs) in advance.

Plus de temps doit être consacré à la familiarisation de l'équipement qu'on portait dans nos sacs, pelle, sonde. Quoi faire si le guide est emporté par une avalanche, une deuxième radio devrait être porté par un des clients, comment utiliser les émetteurs de détresse lors d'une recherche.

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 !!!

Hi Gilbert, I wanted to drop you and Cédric a thank you note. You have had a crazy patience with all my complicated wishes and you really helped making it happen. I really appreciated you help and it was a super great experience, something I will not forget. We felt extremely comfortable with your guidance and hopefully there will be a chance to go on another tour in the future. I am now officially addicted to the deep snow experience J. If you need a client statement from you on your website or anything, just let me know. Happy to do so. I can also post something on social media…. Cheers and thanks again!
