Heli-Skiing

Experience an unforgettable heli-skiing adventure from Queenstown, offering exclusive access to some of New Zealand’s most spectacular alpine terrain. These premium experiences reach deep into the Southern Alps, unlocking vast backcountry landscapes and pristine powder fields that are inaccessible by any other means.

This is heli-skiing in New Zealand at its finest. Fly directly into untouched alpine environments, surrounded by dramatic peaks, expansive glaciers, and endless mountain vistas. Every flight is designed to deliver the ultimate off-grid snow adventure.

With heli skiing, the helicopter transports you and your experienced guide directly to carefully selected mountain terrain, matched to your ability and snow conditions. From there, enjoy exhilarating descents through untracked powder and wide-open alpine bowls before returning to the helicopter for your next run. No lift lines, no crowds – just pure backcountry skiing and snowboarding.

Each experience includes helicopter flight time, professional guiding, safety equipment, and access to some of New Zealand’s most iconic heli-ski terrain. Choose from shared heli-ski packages or private charter experiences, with options ranging from 4, 6, or 8 runs to fully customised adventures.
