Majestic: heliskiing in Zermatt

Clouds Clouds Clouds

Feel like a king just once in your life. Heliskiing in Zermatt makes it possible. You fly up the mountain in small groups to the majestic height of over 4000 metres above sea level. The flight passes close by the most beautiful peak in the Swiss Alps: the Matterhorn. Once at the summit, you have a kingdom of snow-capped mountains at your feet.

But the crowning glory of the whole experience is the descent. Skiing or snowboarding from the very top to the very bottom on virgin slopes. Freeriding is for many the crowning disipline of the Alps. Hurtling down the steepest slopes and leaving tracks in the finest powder snow is a feeling you have to experience for yourself. Heliskiing in Zermatt makes two dreams come true. Simply grandiose! 
 

A winte experience second to none

During the winter months, helicopters bring their adventure-seeking passengers up to one of the mountain landing sites in the midst of Zermatt’s Alpine peaks. A place where no one sets foot. During the descent through open terrain, you are led down safe routes by an experienced mountain guide.
