Heliskiing
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.
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 most affordable option is a solo trip; a tour with friends or family costs more. 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 order a gift certificate for your family and friends, and we will deliver it by Nova Poshta to the recipient.
If the weather on the scheduled departure day does not allow flying, we will offer to reschedule the trip to the nearest days. Clients who decline to reschedule are refunded the cost of the trip.
