It’s the dream of many a skier and snowboarder to hop aboard a helicopter and sail across dazzling snowy peaks, landing in the heart of alpine wilderness in order to descend rugged, pristine slopes. The Andes Mountains are the second-highest in the world and the vertical drop on any given run can be as much as 5,000 feet or more. Many seasoned skiers including the guides themselves frequently say that heli-skiing at Valle Nevado is comparable to Alaska — but with longer runs. Very few operations in the world can claim the dramatic scenery or the vertical drop found here in the snowy Andes. This is adventure at its wildest!
To speak about heli-skiing in South America is to speak about Valle Nevado. Celebrating more than 25 years’ experience offering guided, personalized heli-ski services with an emphasis on safety and a quality of experience, the Valle Nevado heli-ski operation is the best in South America for the sheer variety and size of the terrain found in the resort’s backyard. The Valle Nevado Heli-Ski program is organized through the ANH (National Heli-Ski Association of Chile).
Access untouched slopes in our Eurocopter B3 helicopters and climb up to 13,000+ feet in altitude and experience the best terrain and snow ever imagined, all under the supervision of expert mountain guides and with state-of-the-art safety equipment, such as airbag technology. In addition, you can rent skis and snowboards that are specially designed for deep snow and wild terrain, available at our rental shop.
