Description

Are you looking for the perfect place for a heliboard tour in Europe? Then come join me on this guided trip in Arolla or Verbier.

Verbier is located in the southwest of Switzerland. It’s one of the major ski areas in the Swiss Alps and known as one of the best backcountry areas in the world. A few kilometers southeast is Arolla, another small ski resort village with a spectacular scenery.

And the terrain that surrounds both these villages is one of the favourites for snowboarders due to the steady and steep gradient which allows long powder runs.

My plan is to  meet with you early in the morning and take you up for 2 drops in this beautiful area. There are many options to choose from. The usual itinerary will take us to Pigne d’Arolla and Rosablanche, returning through the 4 Vallées. But there are many other slopes we can go too.

Heliboarding there with an IFMGA mountain guide is compulsory. 

I usually take my client to 2 heli drops (Pigne d’Arolla + Rosablanche), leaving either from Verbier either from Arolla.

So don’t hesitate and send me a request to book this Guided heliboarding  trip leaving from Arolla or Verbier and dropping in the best backcountry terrain in Switzerland. I welcome skiers also!

And if you’re looking for other Heliboarding options, please take a look at my Petit Combin heliboarding day, Valais and my Trient Glacier guided heliboarding day.

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!

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.

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.
