Heli-skiing

A form of off-piste skiing in which a helicopter drops skiers at the summit of untouched slopes inaccessible by lift, to descend through pristine snow. An exceptional activity, heli-skiing requires a certified guide, avalanche safety equipment and favourable weather. Regulated or even banned in some countries, it ranks among the signature experiences mountain palaces offer their most demanding guests, pairing wilderness adventure with absolute privacy and service.
