Heli Hiking

Accessible alpine exploration for families, couples, and active travellers seeking pristine wilderness and no crowds.

The Experience

Heli hiking removes the long approach and places you directly in the high alpine. From there, we move at a comfortable group pace across alpine terrain, creek crossings, wildflower meadows, and gentle glacier terrain.

This is a mountain experience without pressure; there is time to pause, take photos, learn about the landscape, and simply take it all in.

Newcomers and seasoned hikers alike will marvel at the places we go.

Real guests. Real stories.

I was thrilled that despite being unable to walk far, I was able to enjoy the spectacular mountain scenery and wildflowers. The extra helicopter time at the end of the Heli Picnic was a great add-on….what a ride!
