 Poster: A snowHead
|
Mrs jbob asked if I would like a heli,drop for Xmas.
Yes please.
I have no idea what a day heli skiing in say Courmayeur, or Grand St Bernard might cost, and I suspect neither has mrs jbob. Anyone know, or have suggestions for a good outfit.

jbob, This won't be lot of help.
I'm guessing around EU 350 per head (guessing as we have a private arrangement that makes it cheaper).
I'm not aware of any outfit in Aoste that organises Non- group lifts: that is, what we've done is you get a party of 4 riders and hire a guide who can organise the helo - not simply turn up at the landing site and ask for a "day ticket".
I am informed that Val di Grisenche is best.

James the Last, well at least you didn't waste the cost of a day's heli-skiing! Hope it feels better soon. I had one out a couple of years ago and it was actually no problem at all - a very skilled and petite female dentist, who took her time and used skill rather than brute strength. But she's gone now - sailing round the world with dentist hubby and two small kids on a 50 foot yacht to which we all contributed.

jbob, if it's €350 go for it, seems quite reasonable. Just been quoted £610 for 3 uplifts and £720 for 5 with RK-heli in Canada if that helps put it in perspective.

Google aoste heloski to find valgrisenche heli ski, but it really looks like you have to find the group yourself.n thinks get very very pricey if you are on your own.

jbob, You could have a look at Riksgransen in Sweden. You can book individual seats there. I think the website is mountainguide.se, but if you google it you will be able to find it. We went there for May weekend, and had a great time. Excellent guides, really enjoyed the heli, and there is some nice skiing, especially if you are willing to hike. Their costs vary, depending on number of lifts and area you ski in, but memory has it starting at €275 for 3.
We took flights with Norwegian up to Narvik which were very good value. I would also say that flying in is absolutely stunning, as is some of the driving...very strange leaving a party at 3:30 in the morning and the sun is still in the sky. Strange but good.
