Many skiers and snowboarders are insecure, weather they are good enough to fulfill the requirements. Surely you should bring some experience in skiing or snowboarding to do heliskiing, but you do not need to be a pro to enjoy a nice heli skiing adventure!

Safety and experience
The health and well-being of our customers has the utmost importance during our heliskiing and skiing trips. Our pilots have many years of experience.
The specifically established helicopter service, GMH Helicopter Service S.R.L., includes own machines. Independence from others is therefore one of our biggest advantages. The heli teams contribute expertise and flight competence from decade-long experience.
How expensive is Heli skiing?
Heli skiing starts at 250 Euro
We have a huge program and lots of travel destinations. It depends on the region where and how often the helicopter starts. Necessary costs for accommodation, ski pass, material and safety equipment are partially included in our program. At the main destinations in the alps we offer different one-day to multi-day events. In Monte Rosa in Gressoney, our event “My first heliski day” starts with 250 Euro per Person. The Special in Sondrio, Italy includes 20 flights, 5 days and a nice ****hotel begins at 3550 Euro.
What should I have to consider doing Heli skiing or Heli Boarding?
Attentions for heli skiing
You should always practice this winter sport accompanied by a trained mountain and ski guide. It benefits from its local knowledge and experience with weather and snow conditions. An advantage is the journey in small groups. Here the ski guide can pay attention to the participants. In addition, the fun factor increases with the shared experience in deep snow. The following checklist helps with travel planning.
The helicopterski checklist contains the following questions:
-Is a ski pass available or needed
-Are accommodations booked and is the arrival times scheduled
-Is Catering provided during the activities
-The process on site clear
-Is Safety equipment (avalanche transceiver, shovel, probe and ABS backpack) available
