The avalanche safety set (probe, transceiver, shovel) and the alpine set are obligatory! The availabilty of the helicopter cannot be guaranteed. The weather, wind and swow conditions must be optimal for a start. The decision will often be made on the morning of the Heliskiing day.

If the weather is bad, the avalanche conditions do not allow the program and/or there is to much wind, we make an alternativ program.

The “Farmer Safari Ski Touring” trip is recomended.
