Description

The Aosta valley is full of beautiful areas that offer excellent skiing. And on this heliskiing trip, you will have the chance to experience the slopes and powder of one of the more beautiful areas in the valley, La Thuile.

Since this trip only involves a single helicopter flight, it is geared toward people who are new to heliskiing. Hence why we like to refer to it as a My First Heliski Day trip. However, I have no doubt that after this full day skiing experience you will be anxious to enjoy more flights in the future.

Throughout the day, you will have ample opportunity to admire the surrounding Alps, including the famous Mont Blanc mountain (4,810m). You will also be able to see the Grand Combin (4,314m) and the Monte Rosa range. Also, because this is a heliskiing trip, you will have a great deal of choice of where you wish to go and ski.

The possible locations the helicopter can take you include the following:

Miravidi
Mont Ouille
Pointe Lechaud
Testa del Ruitor
Les Vedettes
Becca Bianca

Our guides have years of experience in the Aosta valley, so we know the best places to go. And we will see to it that with our experience, we will make sure your heliski experience in La Thuile is unforgettable. Our only requirements are that participants are in good physical condition and have some prior off-piste skiing experience because you will be skiing up to 2000 vertical metres throughout the day.

So if you want to enjoy this amazing experience, please send us a request. We can't wait to guide you and show you the beauty and fun of La Thuile.

We also offer a similar 1 day, 1 flight heliskiing trip in Valgrisenche, which is also located in the gorgeous Aosta valley.

What people are saying about -Guide Monterosa

It was just amazing. The guide was both fun and serious. Reassuring and very competent. The helicopter company was great too and the pilot (Alessandro) was super fast.

Amazing experience ! Very nice guide, focused on security and carring his clients

Just have to say what an excellent week I had in Val Formazza last week with Heli Guides. Our guide Alberto was great and was able to find us great lines to ski as well as being great company and possessing a great nose for a fine bottle of wine. The hotel we stayed in - the Walser Schtuba - was great with comfortable rooms and top notch meals and wine. You could not ask for more after a great days skiing than to come back and relax in this great hotel. I was most impressed with all aspects of Heli Guides / Guide Monterosa and there willingness to make your holiday truly memorable.

Thank you for a great heliski day!!
