The High Alps · Winter · Sample concept
Helicopter Skiing
in the Alps
Untouched powder. Private access. Alpine luxury at its most extraordinary.
The rotors fall quiet. You step out onto a ridge where no lift has ever reached, and below you lies a valley of untouched snow, waiting for its first line.
This concept pairs private helicopter access — where conditions and local regulations allow — with expert mountain guides and a chalet that feels like a private home. Mornings are pure exhilaration. Evenings belong to firelight, fine dining, and the people you came with.
Suggested duration
5 – 7 nights, typically January to April

Day Four
The mountains, your way
Skiing, rest, family time or a private celebration — composed entirely around your group.
- If plans change
- Ski school for younger guests · A private gathering on a mountain terrace
If this day is Shabbat, there is no skiing or travel; meals, a minyan where possible and walking-distance arrangements are planned in advance.
Day Five
A final view
Farewell breakfast, an optional gentle morning on the snow and private departure.
- Logistics
- Departure timed around flights; luggage handled by the chalet team
Kosher & Shabbat
The chalet kitchen can be arranged for kosher dining to your required supervision standard. Shabbat in the mountains can be a beautiful pause — meals prepared in advance, no flying, and a slow day together in the snow.
Supervision and certification are confirmed with you for each journey — never assumed.
Made for you
- Mixed-ability family pacing
- Private group or corporate retreat
- Photographer and filmmaker on the mountain
- Combine with an Arctic or city extension

- — Heli-skiing access varies by country and local regulation
- — Operator, chalet and guide availability confirmed only at proposal stage
- — International flights unless requested
