Le Chable Heli-Skiing Trip, Chamonix / Mont Blanc Valley

Heliskiing trip in Le Chable, Verbier for up to 6 people

featured in Flying & flights

Your helicopter will whisk you away to virgin mountains and untouched slopes, far from the crowd and busy lift queues.  The best snow in the Alps will be at your fingertips and under your feet.

As heliskiing is not allowed in France this trip takes place in Le Chable, Verbier which is only 50 minutes from Chamonix by car  (transfer from Chamonix is included). The helicopter will whisk you up to one of three landing spots in Verbier Le Petit Combin, the Glacier de Trient or the Rosablanche where 2000m of vertical will be waiting for you!

There are two options on this trip

Le Petit Combin 3663 m - Descend in the direction of the Grand Combin (4314 m). A first easy hike (50m change in altitude) and then a second one (60m change in altitude) in a couloir leads you to the Col de la Panossière (3549m) The descent then takes place on the Glacier de Boveire, first on a north facing slope, then a west facing down to the village of Bourg Saint Pierre (1500m).

The second choice is to ski directly from the top of the”Glacier des Follats” then onto the “Glacier de Corbasssières”. At the end of the glacier, you will have a short walk (around 20mn) before skiing down to the lovely small village of Fionnay.
