Possibly the best heliski area in the Caucasus
Wet storms off the Black Sea meet the cold of the highest peaks of the Central Caucasus. The terrain is remarkably varied: glaciers, alpine valleys, conifer forest, wide bowls and steep couloirs.
Heliskiing is easier than it looks
Heliskiing has a reputation for being difficult and extreme — that's a common misconception. The thing we hear most from first-timers before their first trip is "I'm not ready yet". In practice the bar is lower.
Untracked snow forgives mistakes
Heliskiing is easier than resort freeriding on chopped-up snow. We fly to where nobody has been.
Runs chosen for your group
The guide picks runs to suit the group's level. A little off-piste experience in soft snow is enough.
A certified guide and an avalanche kit
The group is led by a certified ski guide. Transceiver, probe, shovel and an ABS pack for everyone are included, and the day starts with a safety briefing.
A heliski day — ₽190,000 ($2,200) per person
