Heli Ski and Snowboard from Chamonix, with a Mountain Guide Specialist in Italy & Switzerland

Heli Ski and Heli Boarding
Chamonix Sport Aventure are here at your service to provide you “A unique and unforgettable experience”
Looking for something special, something a little bit different or a once in a lifetime treat? Then you have found the ultimate experience on the doorsteps on Chamonix!  Heli skiing can take you to remote areas of the Mont Blanc massif, where the backdrop of stunning scenery is enhanced by the true feeling of being far away from it all.  
For Skiers, Telemarkers and Snowboarders, get away from the traditional ski resort environment.  After a wonderful helicopter flight, register your first tracks on some of the highest peaks in Europe surrounded by breathtaking scenery...an experience not to be missed!! 
 
 
 
                                    
 
Supervised by a local UIAGM certified High Mountain Guide and Heli Ski specialist, the guide will ensure you find the best snow in the nearby mountains in Italy and Switzerland.  Heli Skiing is aimed at lovers of powder snow, wide open spaces and those who like exceptional landscape and big vertical drops!
To enjoy Heliskiing you need to be Advanced/Expert Skier or Snowboarder able to ride black runs and with good Off-piste previous experience !
The spring season allows people with less skills to practise Heli Ski as we can ride easier slopes with easy spring snow conditions!
