Description

Tucked in between some of the highest peaks in the Alps, the Aosta Valley is one of the most spectacular regions in Italy and the perfect setting for an unforgettable 1+ day heliskiing adventure.

Taking full advantage of a competent and professional heliskiing service, we will meet up early in the morning and fly out to the drop zone selected according to the best snow and weather conditions.

Possible heliskiing locations include Gressoney, Valgrisenche, Courmayeur, Cervinia, and La Thuile, ensuring access to deep, untracked powder and breathtaking alpine terrain.

As we fly over the valley, we’ll enjoy incredible panoramic views of glaciers, high alpine ridges, and remote mountain passes before hopping off the helicopter and into fresh, untouched powder.

From here, the real fun begins as we ski down wide-open slopes and technical alpine terrain, carving through high-quality off-piste snow in a truly wild environment.

The descent requires intermediate-level off-piste skiing skills and rewards us with unforgettable views of this stunning part of the Italian Alps.

Once back in the valley, you’ll have the rest of the day to relax, explore one of the charming alpine villages, or enjoy the rich mountain culture and cuisine of the Aosta Valley.

The price includes one heli-drop. However, if you wish to extend the adventure and go out again the following day (and why wouldn’t you?), we can arrange an additional day and repeat the experience under the best possible conditions.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for an exciting, scenic, and adrenaline-filled 1+ day heliskiing adventure in the spectacular Aosta Valley!

BENJAMIN

Riccardo was an exceptional guide. On this 4 day skiing trip with him, he taught me how to ski tour and took me to many incredible locations. He was happy and able to help me whenever I got to a difficult location on the mountain and ensured I was always comfortable with what I was doing. Additionally, he is quite a great photographer so I got many nice photos from the adventure. I would definitely recommend Riccardo and this trip for anyone who is interested in trying off-piste skiing or ski touring.

Lisa

I did the 4 day off piste at Mont Blanc. Riccardo is a very patient,funny and professional guide. He definitely speaks all 3 languages fluently and is accessible to ask questions and plan your ski trip. His vast knowledge about the mountain and skiing are incredible.He is always on time and checks the weather the night before to determine the iternary for the next day. He is very organized and helpful too. He even came with me to get my ski gear. He will always give you suggestions on which mountain and will ask what you would like to do. Due to the bad weather, I got to ski La Flegere and Le Tour. The views were still incredible and we had fresh powder snow. I had a great time and learned alot from him. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget and would definitely recommend him.
