Custom and Group Heli-hiking in the Canadian Rockies

coming in for a landing

In partnership with Alpine Helicopters and their base in Canmore, AB (just outside Banff National Park), White Mountain Adventures offers you the ultimate combination of nature, enjoyment and mountain exhilaration!

Join one of our guides for a 1/2 day or full day guided heli-hike that begins with a helicopter flight from Canmore and isfollowed by a dropoff in a remote alpine location. After you and your guide wave good-bye to the helicopter you'll be on your own to explore a wonderful world above treeline full of alpine wildflowers, lingering snowfields, and wildlife such as bighorn sheep, marmots and pika. The views are spectacular in all directions

On our custom and group heli-hikes you have much more flexibility inchoosing the time and date plus you can tailor the experience to fit just what you and/or group are looking for.

In addition to our regular hiking locations in the area known as

unloading on a mountaintop"Charles Stewart" there are a number of other areas within Kananaskis Country that we are allowed to land in. (No landings are allowed in Banff National Park)

On custom heli-hikes we can also include your choice of lunches from a box lunch to a picnic lunch, even to a BBQ!

Our maximum group size for heli-hikes is 22 persons.

Each trip is accompanied by one of our professionally trained hiking and interpretive guides who'll introduce you to the mountain peaks, history of the area, and help you identify the alpine wildflowers and wildlife you're likely to see.

No special equipment or clothing is needed! We can provide you with the use of boots, jackets, daypacks and hiking poles.

 

Prices begin at $389 per person, based on 3 or more persons

And for something really different, visit us this winter and try... Heli-snowshoeing!

spring snowshoeing

A short helicopter flight from our base in Canmore takes you high into a winter wonderland of open meadows, alpine ridges and snow covered forests. Once you touch down you'll explore this winter wonderland on snowshoes with a professional guide. Have fun sliding down slopes on the backs of your snowshoes, walk across ridges offering incredible views and stop for some hot chocolate at our snow camp sheltered in the forest. It's a magical winter treat!.

Cost is $389 pp + GST. Minimum 3 persons.
