With unsurpassed alpine terrain and picturesque fjord scenery, the Eagle Lodge is not just for freeriders with special preferences - it is the all-rounder in Bella Coola's portfolio. No matter whether you are a good rider and finally want to try heliskiing or whether you already have hundreds of thousands of vertical meters behind you: In the world's largest contiguous heliski area, you are sure to find the terrain that suits your skills and preferences perfectly.
Only two to three small groups share a helicopter. This means that even the Classic program feels like a semi-private package. Thanks to the short distance to the airport, you can enjoy this feeling for as long as possible: weather permitting, you can even go powdering on the day of arrival and departure!

Simple, fast and exclusive! And best of all: the flight to and from Vancouver is included in the price. A private charter plane will take you directly to Bella Coola. After the one-hour flight, the helicopter will be waiting for you at the terminal. You get off the plane, get changed, climb into the helicopter and, after the obligatory safety briefing, ski your first runs on the day of arrival! While heliskiers elsewhere are still sitting on the shuttle bus for hours on the day of arrival, you are already making your first turns through the powder! After the last run, you head straight to the lodge, where your luggage is already waiting in your room and après-ski snacks are waiting for you at the bar. Skiing continues on the last day. The helicopter will drop you off at the airport in Bella Coola, where your luggage will be ready for you to change into and you will board the charter plane to Vancouver.
If you are traveling from Europe, you will need to plan an overnight stay in Vancouver for the outward and return journey. Talk to us. We have numerous hotels at special rates for heliskiers.
