ABOUT US – COMPANY, HELISKI GUIDES AND TESTIMONIALS

Heliski Nepal
Heliski Nepal was founded in 2001. It is the first and only Company allowed to heliski in the Kingdom of Nepal. It was the dream of the ski and mountaineering experienced founders to open up a new ski destination to the heliski community and share with them the beauty of the Himalayas. That first year a small film group from Chamonix came to film the movie “Chamonix-Kathmandu”. Other film crews followed and so did our heliski clients. To this date, we operate in the Everest, Humla and Annapurna region of Nepal.
Heliski Greece
Since 2012 we are operating in Greece. Looking for new heliski destinations in Europe, the founders researched over years to find great heliski opportunities at Mount Olympus and in the Pindus region in Northern Greece. Very little known is that Greece has several established ski areas which are not very developed. But there is vast skiable terrain perfect for heliskiing. In 2014 we were proud to provide the logistics and guides for the Warren Miller Film Productions of “No Turning Back”.
Heliski Chile
In search of more exotic heliski areas, the founders went in 2009 to the most southern city on our planet to Porto Williams in Chile. Heliskiing in Tierra del Fuego and the Darwin Cordillera isn’t just a heliski experience, it’s an adventure filled with the history of the great explorers and their tales of native Indians. This area is unspoiled and pristine, it’s one of the more beautiful and scenic parts of the world, where glaciers flow into the sea. The wildlife is abundant, from right whales to killer whales, penguins, the majestic Andean condors. One of our guests was Teton Gravity, which came to film sequences of their amazing movie “Art of Flight”.
SAFETY
All our guides are certified UIAGM mountain guides. We provide 2 guides per group of 8 people. The first guide will always go first and set a line for the clients to follow, afterwards each client will go down one by one. The second guide will go last. In this matter, we can take the best control of eventual slides occurring while skiing. We will provide the standard heliski items for all clients. These items include Barryvox avalanche detectors, Probes, Shovels, etc. In the case of an emergency rescue or accident, we will fly in a rescue team and or doctors immediately should the need arise. Prior to the first Heliski run your guides will give you an orientation on how to operate the Barryvox devices provided by us, if you brought your own they will synchronize your avalanche search device with ours. For precaution reasons, the chopper will carry onboard a fully stocked base camp, with tents, sleeping bags & insulate pads, food, stoves, drinks, satellite phone & laptop, etc.
