What kind of medical insurance is required?
The insurance must be valid throughout the entire duration of the tour and cover the following: «freeride / off-piste skiing or snowboarding / skiing or snowboarding in non-marked areas». Merely stating «Mountain skiing» will not suffice! Medical insurance is mandatory for all tour participants.
How is the level of skiing determined in advance?
In the combined group, we can never guarantee a certain level of skiing. We base our judgement on the answers provided by our guests to the following questions: How long have you been skiing? How often? Where do you ski? How can you define your level of skiing? But the answers are always subjective and everyone can interpret the questions differently.
How many guides accompany a group?
Groups up to 4 people — 1 guide; 5–9 people — 2 guides; 10–15 people — 3 guides; 16–19 people — 4 guides.

Why is heli-ski so expensive?
The main cost of a heli-ski tour is the helicopter flight time, bearing in mind that Mi-8 helicopters fly in mountainous terrain and pilots must have a specific flying licence. The more there is flight time on a tour, the more expensive the tour is.
