Heliskiën

Heliskiing is a type of backcountry skiing or snowboarding that involves using a helicopter to access remote and often pristine snow-covered terrain. Rather than ski lifts, which are common at ski resorts, heliskiing allows participants to be dropped off by a helicopter at high-altitude locations, from where they can descend on unmarked, untamed slopes. This activity is popular among advanced skiers and snowboarders seeking adventure, deep powder snow, and the thrill of skiing in untouched landscapes. Heliskiing is typically offered in mountainous regions where access to isolated areas is challenging without aerial transport. Safety measures are crucial in this sport, as participants are often in avalanche-prone areas and may require guiding by experienced professionals.
