Heli Mountaineering in the BC Rockies

Imagine an exclusive Heli mountaineering adventure, designed just for you! Whether you're completely new to mountaineering or a seasoned veteran, our three-day heli mountaineering adventure is your passport to fun, challenge and exhilaration. The setting for your adventure is the Gold Range of the Canadian Rockies. Experience an unparalleled wilderness, home to bald eagles and mountain goats...and to Heli Canada Adventures' exclusive mountaineering adventure vacations.

If you're a novice, no problem. All you need is a moderate fitness level, and the ability to make vertical steps, as if you were climbing a ladder. Also required is the willingness to become quickly addicted to the adrenaline, laughter and thrills of this increasingly popular adventure. If you're an experienced climber, you already know the unique sense of pure excitement and personal growth that comes from mountaineering.

The terrain in this area of the BC Rockies is ideal for tailoring our helicopter adventure to your skills and goals, and our expert guides ensure your enjoyment at all times. Routes vary in difficulty from easy fourth class (scrambling) to difficult fifth class (imagine climbing upside down to negotiate an overhanging roof), with an elevation gain of approximately 2500 feet daily. You'll experience alpine rock climbing as well as snow and ice mountaineering: ridges with fantastic exposure to faces with huge jugs, glaciers, and classic multi-pitch routes on rock and ice.

Each day begins and ends with a thrilling helicopter ride - depositing you first at the climb's base, and then plucking you off the peaks, reducing lengthy approaches and descents from 5000 feet to 0. After each day's adventure, you return to the comfort and elegant charm of the Hillcrest in historic Revelstoke, British Columbia. What comes next can include a soak in the hot springs, golf, or simply enjoying top-quality dining.
