Big Mountain Skiing with Alaska feeling in Canada

Big mountain skiing for private and semi-private groups in the largest contiguous heliskiing area in the world, an overwhelming mountain panorama partly with fjord views and a super fast arrival - the Tweedsmuir Park Lodge by Bella Coola Heli Sports is a dream for good and very good skiers and boarders. Read more.

Bella Coola offers pure small-group heliskiing with skiing on the day of arrival and on the day of departure. Do you love tree-free slopes, impressive glaciers and long deep-snow descents? Then Bella Coola is the right place for you. We've been to every continent and almost every heliski area in Canada - we've never seen better high alpine terrain than in Bella Coola!
The enormous snowfall and the exceptionally stable snowpack of the Coast Mountains often make for spectacular descents. If the weather and snow conditions cooperate, strong riders can ski really steep and long runs. Bella Coola offers that Alaskan feeling, but with a much lower risk of bad weather. The ultimate upgrade for experts are the XL weeks. Here you can ride some of the steepest lines in Canada.

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 out of the plane, change your clothes, 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.
