Description

The lovely town of Cholila in the Patagonia province of Chubut is located at the foot of the Andes, a beautiful region to practice winter sports in the cold months. As a ski or snowboard enthusiast you will love exploring some of its most remote spots on one of our private heliski trips! You might even be the first person ever to ski down some of the slopes we discover!

Awe inspiring peaks and glaciers, perfect powder runs, and pristine mountain wilderness will fill our days as we go deeper and deeper into the amazing and remote landscapes of the Andes. Having helicopter access will give us the chance to truly explore the area. We have two helicopters and we will launch every morning straight from our base at the lodge we will stay in. Every day after breakfast we will have a trip briefing and safety check before setting off into the mountains. Then, we will spend the morning skiing until we stop for lunch on the field and finally continue on skiing until we return to the lodge in the evening.

In order to kick start your adventure you will first need to get to Cholila. All you will need to do is fly in to Esquel or Bariloche, and we will take it from there. The beautiful Carrileufu Lodge has spectacular views of the Andes and also a wine cellar, sauna and spa room, so you will be very comfortable during your stay. We will also take care of providing you with delicious, gourmet, nutrient dense meals. This is important because after a long day out in the snow, a hearty dinner and a warm and cozy environment to relax in will ensure that you wake up refreshed for another round of adventure the following day!

Because we will be skiing every day all day, a good fitness level is a must. Prior skiing experience is also preferable. Our itinerary will vary according to your preferences and also to weather and snow conditions. Of course, we will at all times be available to guide and help you.

Are you ready for a unique week of heliskiing in the Andes? Then book your place now and join us on a private week long heliski trip in Patagonia!

For those looking for a shorter excursion, we also offer heliski day trips!

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.
