Activity description

Freeride and sports enthusiasts looking for new horizons, you've landed on the right page! Follow your guide for the ride of your life in the Swiss Alps!

Heliskiing allows you to reach summits you could only dream of climbing! It is the ideal activity if you're looking to ride faster and further to find the freshest snow in the Swiss Alps!

The tour leads you to some of the favourite peaks located in the region of Verbier, Petit Combin, Trient, and Rosablanche.

The helicopters are all Eurocopter AS 350 B3. They are powerful and very handy which is ideal for heliskiing.

The altitude difference of the slopes generally varies between 1600 and 2400 meters. According to your level, you will have more or less time to explore the mountains and different itineraries.

If you love endless rides, do not hesitate to bring your ski touring equipment to access new routes!

All guides are state certified. Most of them have been working with Adrenaline since it was first created and therefore, the mountains and glaciers from Chamonix to Zermatt no longer have any secrets for them. You can trust them to find the spots best suited to your expectations!

Of course, in any mountain activity, safety is the top priority. Adrenaline makes sure the guides remain updated on the latest safety standards by training them regularly.

Activities can be organised in English, French, German, Italian and Russian.

 
Offer Description

The day before your heliskiing trip you'll confirm all the details with your guide: meeting time and place, best itinerary depending on the weather conditions.

You will usually meet at the heliport around 8.30am but if you're accomodated in Verbier, the Adrenaline shuttle bus will pick you up to get you to the agreed meeting point.

Programme of the day

- First thing first, your guide will brief you on the itinerary of the day and weather conditions.
- You'll get geared up and your guide will remind you how to use the security equipment and the basic rules in altitude.
- Then you're off! The helicopter will take you up the itinerary you chose and you'll get to ride some of the most thrilling backcountry slopes!
- You can choose to have a ski touring part during your day if all the participants have their equipment. Most of the time, you won't need skins and the ride will last around 2.5 hours.
- You should be back at the heliport around 2pm. Those who wish can go for another ride for a CHF 600 supplement per person.
