Description

An unforgettable 8-day heliskiing program at Gressoney is waiting for you. Join us!

Our heliski week in Gressoney, on the south side of the Monte Rosa, is a big proposal we are proud to offer. Many skiers still think that Gressoney is the end of the world. However, those how know the area say it is the gateway to the ski paradise.

The area where we’ll land our helicopter and enjoy amazing ski runs goes from the Matterhorn to the Monte Rosa southeast side. It has more than 20 places where we can land and around 60 ski descents.

In the Monte Rosa everybody will find the perfect terrain and a unique experience, independently of snow, avalanche and weather conditions. Talking about that, the best conditions to spend an ideal heliskiing week are found from December till early March.

Ideally, we work with a group of 4 guests per guide. That way we can offer the safety and flexibility you deserve. Every minute of your experience is vital to us.

All participants need an excellent off piste skiing level in all snow conditions. In addition, it’s also mandatory a strong fitness level to cope skiing off-piste up to 7,000 vertical meters per day. As for group bookings, we can take care individually of the skills and technical level of each participant.

Regarding the accommodation during the trip, let us recommend 3 hotels (***) of the area.

The Dufour Hotel is close to the ski lifts of Gressoney (Punta Jolanda) and offers luxury rooms, suites and a spa area. All the rooms have TV, telephone, bathroom and some of them a private Jacuzzi. The hotel’s restaurant serves excellent Italian cuisine.
The Nordend Hotel is located in Staffal (a 5-minute walk from the ski lifts). It also has a spa area and modern rooms with TV, telephone and bathroom. The nearby restaurant da Giovanni serves excellent Italian meals.

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.

Valeriya

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.
