Heli skiing

Discover off trail downhill skiing or snowboarding in the Alpine mountains during a Heli skiing experience when staying with Mark Warner in Méribel. Hop in a helicopter and be carried off to a landing zone on the mountain where you will have access to soft off piste areas and remote alpine terrain.

Heli-skiing is a commercial sport, perfect for those who seek thrilling activities during an active holiday and is sure to get the adrenaline pumping. This unique experience is a wonderful way to create unforgettable memories with groups of friends during a trip to Méribel. Heli-skiing is not allowed in France however, with mountains rising from the Chamonix Valley having borders with Italy and Switzerland, heli-skiing is perfectly legal on the outskirts.

With numerous exhilarating heli-skiing drop zones and broad valley regions available near to the Méribel resort, you will not be short of terrain choices, snow conditions and mountain orientation. Whatever your preference, there is a vast selection of off-piste routes to choose from.

If you are travelling as a family with younger children, there are endless exciting activities to do both on and off the slopes.

After a fantastic day on the slopes with the family, wander over to the local leisure centre. With a range of special events, activities and family entertainment on throughout the season, it is the perfect way to keep your little ones entertained in the evenings. Add some excitement to your holiday by taking the family on a dog sledding adventure in the snowy Méribel mountains. Sit back in your sleigh and take in the mountainous views and crisp air as Husky dogs plough you through the pristine snow, frozen lakes and forested areas. This is a truly unforgettable experience which will be enjoyed by all.
