Description

Welcome to this unique 9-day heliboarding adventure in Ayder, a beautiful place located in northeastern Turkey.

Whit a vast ski area of about 4000 square meters, Ayder offers no limits for off piste skiing fun. Choose which spots you want to explore with your snowboard or skis and we will fly there to enjoy incredible descents.

With a helicopter at our entire disposal for a whole week, I will guide you to make the best out of this trip. Apart from the snow activities, we can also spend one o more nights in a remote village located on the other side of the Kackar mountain range. So it’s not just about heliboarding but about a complete mountain experience!

And if that option is not the chosen location for overnight, we will stay at the Hasimoglu Hotel.  Here you will have plenty of amenities to get relaxed after a heliboarding day, such as a cozy room with a fireplace to keep you warm while you watch TV on a Big Screen. There is also a game room, sauna, Jacuzzi, gym and 2 massage rooms to spoil yourself in.

So come and join me on this 9-day adventure. I’ll be pleased to guide you through this one-of-a-kind snowboarding experience. Send your request to book and I will make sure to offer a program adapted to your tastes and expectations.

You can also have a look at other trip offers we have for you in Ayder like this group heliskiing week tour.

Mountain Guide

I'm a IFMGA/UIAGM mountain guide from Verbier in Valais. For the past 15 years I have been working in most of the heliski bases around the globe. For the moment, I'm focusing on Val d'Aran in the Pyrenees and Ayder and Ayladar in Turkey. I'm guiding there with a team of IFMGA guides. If I'm busy when you try to book a heliski day or tour, you'll be skiing with one of them. Join us and experience amazing skiing in less classic destinations!

The best team in the world

M.

Nice team, very well organized (hotels, transfers, helicopter), good safety management, although there was not as much snow as usual, the guides made the extra effort to find the perfect spots and conditions and succeeded. This a was a great week, I came alone and joined a fantastic group.
