Description

Patagonia is one of the top spots in Argentina for winter sports. The town of Cholila in Chubut is located at the foothills of the Andes, and is the perfect location to access remote areas of the mountains by helicopter. On this 5-day heliski week in Patagonia we will give you the chance to ski or snowboard down some of the most pristine unmarked slopes in the region!

We will begin by picking you up at either the Esquel or the Bariloche airport. Keep in mind that the drive from Esquel is 90 minutes long while the drive from Bariloche takes around 3 hours. Also, we offer a heliski option to and from the airport that you can check with us about. Once we arrive at our luxury mountain lodge with stunning views of the Andes, we will have a meet and greet with the rest of the people in the lodge. After a trip briefing we will have a wonderful Argentine gourmet dinner together. You will also have the possibility to unwind at our sauna, and spa room. Then, the following morning we will set off on our adventure. Every day we will explore a different area of the Andes including peaks and glaciers, which will give us plenty of skiing and snowboarding opportunities!

Because we will be out on the mountain all day it is important that you have a good fitness level. Also, prior experience is preferable. Keep in mind as well that our itinerary will be flexible to adapt to conditions and your needs and preferences. Furthermore, should we get bad weather, we also have other alternative activities for you to ensure your utmost enjoyment. We will of course be available to help and guide you at all times!

Are you ready for a unique experience in the Andes? Then book your place now and join us on this 5-day heliskiing adventure in Patagonia!

Or, if you prefer a longer trip, you can also join us on one of our 8-day private heliskiing tours!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
