Are you a ski touring enthusiast looking to mix things up with some heliskiing? Then our Heli-Assisted Ski Touring Package is the perfect fit for you. A team of experienced guides, familiar with every inch of the off-piste terrain, will take you on an unforgettable adventure.
Each morning starts with a helicopter drop to our prime ski touring spots. Warm up with a run, tackle the downhill, and if you’re up for more, continue to the next summit for further adventures. Lunch break is the perfect time to gain strength for the second half and then the helicopter will pick you up again after the last run.
Every day brings a new adventure, whether skiing from mountain peaks to the ocean or exploring valleys between towering mountains. The flexibility and helicopter access to prime skiing areas make this package exceptional. Additionally, there is the option for extra heli-drops at the end of the day.
Your legs might feel the burn after countless well-deserved powder turns, but Sigló hotel awaits with its relaxing atmosphere. Enjoy a drink at the bar, sit by the fireplace, or unwind in the outdoor hot tub and sauna, surrounded by the ocean and mountains.
