INFORMATIONS
PROGRAM
Meet in Chamonix the previous day or at around 8h30 on the ski day.
We then go through the Mont Blanc tunnel and head to Courmayeur (25 min).
After getting your ski gear on, you will be handed out the safety equipment and we will have a quick briefing.
Depending on the time and snow conditions, we will choose either to take the cable car up to ski a great off piste run for a warm up, or set off directly for the first drop off.
A spectacular flight will plunge you into the heart of a white paradise where you will be dropped off at one of the 8 high altitude drop zones on one of the flanks of Mont Blanc.
Our guides make it their priority to find the most promising itineraries for fresh snow so that you can discover the longest and most beautiful heliski runs in Courmayeur.
After the last drop off, you will be taken by scooter to a charming little restaurant where you can indulge in all the tasty local specialities. But don’t forget to save the energy to complete the last run that will lead you down to the cars!
The return to Chamonix takes 25 minutes.
