Les Chalets Covarel Concierge Service
A day of heli-skiing requires precise aeronautical and weather logistics. Our concierge team takes care of everything from A to Z: flight authorizations, private helicopter bookings, high-mountain guide selection, safety equipment preparation, and premium transfers.
Your Exceptional Expedition Departing from Val d’Isère
As heli-skiing is strictly regulated in France, our concierge service collaborates with prestigious helicopter companies and the most experienced UIAGM (International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations) high-mountain guides to organize your drop-offs on the majestic neighboring Italian slopes (such as the Ruitor, Col du Mont, or Val Grisanche).

Tailored Equipment and Absolute Safety
To fully enjoy this sporting expedition, state-of-the-art equipment is essential. Our partner instructor and guide will advise you on the most suitable type of skis depending on current snow conditions (wide "Freeride" or "All-Mountain" skis that enhance floatation in powder).
