Southern Alps

Description

Join me for a spectacular trip heliboarding the incredible Mount Cook. Located in the Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, New Zealand‘s highest mountain is a place you’ll never forget.

This trip includes 5 epic runs (though more are available if you wish to). Away from the crowded Queenstown, this mountain offers New Zealand’s best snow! Besides, you’ll also get to enjoy the impressive landscape while having fun: the National Park is covered in glaciers, including the Tasman and Hooker. It is no surprise that a beautiful place like this was chosen for a movie venue: you might recognize it from “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”.

I recommend this trip to intermediate snowboarders looking for a unique experience. Skiers are also welcome!

If you want a longer experience, there is also the option of extending the trip for two more days with a great discount!

If you are ready for an exciting adventure, book your trip now! Heliboarding is a must for all snowboard lovers and I would love to guide you in this incredible opportunity.

Mountain Guide

I grew up skiing in Hokkaido, the island of ‘Japow’ in Japan. I moved to New Zealand in 2001 and I live in Mount Cook village, where the centre of Southern Alps lies.

Since then I'm deeply in love with the natural environment that New Zealand can offer.

I'm an IFMGA-certified mountain guide and a member of New Zealand Mountain Guides Association. I guide all over the Southern Alps of NZ, especially rock climbing, alpine climbing, instruction courses in summer, heliskiing, ski touring, ice climbing in winter.

Please contact me if you are looking for an adventure in NZ both during the summer and during the winter.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
