Heliskiing
Tired of ordinary skiing? We offer a vivid alternative — heli-skiing in the Carpathians: an extreme descent from the steepest snow-covered peaks for snowboarders and thrill-seekers.
Heli-skiing is freeriding far from prepared pistes: a helicopter lifts you to the summit, because there is no other way to reach the starting point — and that is exactly what makes the descent so exciting.
Flights are on pause — you can leave a request right now.
What to bring with you?
You cannot set off on an extreme journey without special equipment. In the tough conditions of an unprepared slope, we recommend having with you:
a special snowboard or skis — for a safer descent
a warm ski suit
gloves, hats and goggles (several spare sets)
a beacon (transceiver) for locating a person on the terrain
a set of necessary tools
an avalanche probe (up to 3 m) for searching under the snow
an avalanche airbag backpack
an Avalung — a device for breathing under a layer of snow
How much does heli-skiing cost?
The cost is determined by the tour programme you choose. The price also depends on who is going — a solo trip or a tour with friends or family. The flight distance also affects the price.
The price includes the charter from Kyiv to the Carpathians and helicopter rental. If the client is heading out on an extreme journey for the first time, the price increases to cover the services of a professional instructor.
How to order the service?
Contact our manager and order the service, and discuss the details by phone. The tour must be booked no later than 3 days before departure to the descent area. We take calls from clients in different regions of the country; regional clients should plan in advance how they will get to Kyiv.
Heli-skiing makes an excellent gift for thrill-seekers. You can leave a request for a gift certificate for your family and friends — we will let you know first as soon as we open sales.
If the weather on the scheduled departure day does not allow flying, we will offer to reschedule the trip to the nearest days. If the new dates don't suit you, we will cancel the trip at no cost to you.

What does the service include?
Helitour promises unforgettable heli-skiing sensations, but first let us look at the service in detail:
- we take clients to the Carpathians by charter flight from Kyiv;
- a helicopter brings the client to the starting point of the route;
- disembarking from the helicopter;
- the return journey from the Carpathians to Kyiv.
The tour organisers make sure that, the day before the descent from the mountain summit, an experienced instructor works with the client — briefing a first-time thrill-seeker and teaching all the finer points of heli-skiing.

Thank you, Helitour, for these unforgettable memories! The flight was amazing — true professionals.

Incredible emotions — we loved everything! Pilot Oleksii didn't just take us for a ride, he made our flight exciting and unforgettable. Everything was top class.
Frequently asked questions
A charter to another city?
Yes — helicopter hire and charter flights across Ukraine. There are no sightseeing flights over other cities; you get to another city by charter. The manager calculates the price: helicopter model, route and distance.
There are four or more of us — what then?
You fly in several departures on the Robinson R44 or in a larger helicopter — as agreed with the manager. The manager calculates the price for the group.
What happens if the weather is unsuitable on the day of the flight?
We reschedule the flight to another date that suits you, at no extra cost. Safety comes first: flights are not operated in non-flying weather, and the pilot makes the call.
Can you fly a helicopter in Kyiv right now?
Not at the moment — sightseeing flights are temporarily suspended due to martial law and the closure of Ukrainian airspace. That is why right now we are not selling anything or accepting payment. Leave a request for a flight or a gift certificate — with no payment and no obligation. As soon as flights resume and we open sales, we will let you know first and agree on a convenient date.
