Your own helicopter, your own lodge, your own guides, plus a top area and tons of snow: heli-skiing is exclusive, but CMH Valemount is in a class of its own. You share the area with the guests of CMH Cariboos. As it extends over 1,500 square meters, you will never have to ski on tracked slopes. On high northern glaciers, in high alpine terrain and tree skiing, you will experience skiing and snowboarding in a class of its own. Read more.
The Valemount Lodge is just as fantastic as the heliskiing area in the foothills of the Columbia Mountains. Ski Magazine has already voted it one of the five most luxurious ski lodges in the world. The journey from Calgary is by small plane almost to the lodge!

Additional costs:
NOTE: The maximum weight of the group must not exceed 725kg (without clothes). According to our experience, there is room for 8 - 9 people.
After landing in Calgary, you check in at the Calgary Airport Marriott In Terminal - you don't even have to leave the building. CMH staff will greet you at your own CMH check-in desk. After a good night's sleep, you will take the shuttle bus to the Sunwest Aviation Terminal at 07:00 in the morning. From here you will take a charter flight directly to Valemount Airport. On the approximately one-hour flight, the Rockies already show their uniqueness, provided the weather is fine. After the reception in Valemount, you will fly the last five minutes by helicopter to the lodge, where you will be greeted. There you first check into your room and then complete the obligatory safety training. After lunch, you'll be on your skis or board.
On the day of departure you won't be powdering, but you can fly back to Europe on the same day (after 5.30 pm). However, we recommend that you plan an overnight stay in Calgary. If the weather doesn't cooperate and the return journey is delayed, you may otherwise miss your flight.
