Description

Get ready to ski down a glacier with this exclusive Trient Prestige guided heliski day!

The Trient Glacier or how it’s called in French Glacier du Trient, is located in the Swiss side of the world famous Mont Blanc Massif. Its one of the most amazing spots to ski in Switzerland and painfully we have to take advantage of it now, because it has been retracting a lot during the last years.

The upper glacial plateau goes up to 3280 meters and into the foot of the Aiguille Tour. This is one of the best spots for heli skiing in Europe and here is where I’ll guide you to!

The drop-off point will be on the Col des Plines to the south of the Trient refuge. This place will offer us a great deal of outstanding runs for every level and skill. There are steep slopes full of rocks and cliffs and less difficult runs to enjoy in a more relaxed way.

Sounds like the right way to enjoy this amazing glacier? It is! So send me a request to book this Trient Prestige guided heliski day and I’ll take care of your every need, so you can have the most incredible time!

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!

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
