Description

Join us in a 1-day heliski tour around Gressoney area, on the south side of the Monte Rosa massif.

"My first heliski day" program is the perfect start up for adventurous skiers. Our team of IFMGA mountain and heli guides will provide a perfect process while discovering this paradise.

The Gressoney heliski area spreads from the Matterhorn to the southeast side of Monte Rosa. There are over 20 landing sites, more than 60 runs and a unique mountain scenery, making the heliski area one of the most magnificent and varied in the Alps.

With more than 20 years operating, we have the knowledge to select sweetest descents depending on the snow conditions. Putting safety first, we'll try to help you fulfill your dreams and expectations. We work with a maximum group size of 4 participants to offer a maximum of flexibility and individuality.

Thanks to the altitude and the influence from the south, Monte Rosa massif can expect heavy snowfall all winter long. Thus we can ski in perfect conditions from December till March.

To start this amazing heliski day we will meet at 9AM in our office in Staffal or by appointment. We'll do the welcoming, present the daily program and check the equipment. Then we'll take the lifts to Colle Bettaforca, where our guide will test your ski level doing one run in the ski area. Next we'll take the helicopter to the nearby 3150m high Bettolina. We'll ski down through the beautiful slopes of Val de Verra on to Saint Jacques, where we'll organize lunch.

Back to Gressoney we will take the lifts from Frachey via Colle Bettaforca. And we will be back in Staffal at 4.30PM at the latest.

We are waiting to share our passion for our work and region with you! So please let us know if you have any questions, we will be happy to guide you to spend a unique day in the mountains. And if you don't feel ready to heliski yet, we also offer other adventures in Italy: Freeride skiing in Courmayeur and Ski tour Alpe Devero.

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

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.
