Activity Snapshot
Activity description
Ride out of Tignes ski resort (Espace Killy) and catch a bird's eye view of the backcountry with a helicopter flight back home!
Heliskiing is forbidden in France. Though purists may be against such methods, it's still a helicopter flight! This activity is ideal for experienced off-piste skiers looking for new challenges.
Heli-skiing requires a great experience of the mountain and terrain to be practiced safely. With your instructor Kev Herbert, you will be able to ride safely thanks to his extensive knowledge of the area. You have three options:
Chevril
Ride the classic Tovière couloirs (Mickey's Ears), across the summer pass, down through one of the gulleys leading into the Bois de La Laye and finally meandering through the forest to the Lac de Chevril (over 1000m vertical descent). All capped off with a heli-ride home.
Bonneval
Ride into the Maurienne valley with a flight over the Vanoise National Park to return.
Italy
Two heli-drops in Italy and some awesome riding home. You'll cross over into Italy via the frontier resort of La Rosière. Transport to and from resort included.
