Pantheon Heli Ranch @ Bella Coola Heli Sports
Pantheon Heli Ranch @ Bella Coola Heli Sports
Endless descents and huge glaciers
The higher the mountains, the longer the descents! With Bella Coola Heli Sports, good and very good skiers and snowboarders can take on some of the steepest and longest runs in all of Canada. The high alpine terrain in particular is some of the best in the heli-skiing industry. Many of the slopes in the rough terrain of the Pantheon Heli Ranch have never been skied by a guest before. During our visits to the Pantheon area, we have been able to ski one or two slopes for the first time. A very special experience!Read more.
Not far from your accommodation is Mount Waddington, British Columbia's highest mountain, which forms the dramatic backdrop for many descents. Its steep flanks have already inspired filmmakers. The film "Seven Years in Tibet" was shot here because of its Himalayan resemblance. You may "only" be powder skiing on its smaller neighbors, but they also have it all: thanks to the stable snow cover in the Coast Mountains, you can experience real big mountain skiing with some spectacular descents. Heliskiing like in Alaska - in the middle of British Columbia.
As a cattle ranch, the Pantheon Heli Ranch has a charm all of its own. Despite its remote location, you can reach it quickly and easily from Vancouver. So you can go powdering on the day you arrive and the day you leave. And if you book a heliski safari with Bella Coola, you can also pay a visit to the area around Mount Waddington.

Simple, fast and exclusive! And best of all: the flight to and from Vancouver is included in the price. A private charter plane takes you directly to Anahim Lake. After the one-hour flight, the helicopter will be waiting for you at the terminal. You get off the plane, climb into the helicopter, change your clothes during a stopover 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 Anahim Lake, 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 at Travelzone have numerous hotels at special rates for heliskiers.
