Accompanied by certified professional mountain guides, participants navigate demanding off-piste descents far beyond marked slopes and standard ski lift infrastructure. Across these mountain resorts, guided helicopter flights and off-piste outings are scheduled primarily during the winter season, with select high-altitude locations extending their activity programs into the spring months.\n\nAcross the Western Alps, five notable destinations highlight the variety of available terrain. In Italy's Aosta Valley, Courmayeur provides flights onto the Mont Blanc massif reaching maximum altitudes of 4,810 metres, while Cervinia operates small-group tours from an altitude of 2,050 metres up to 3,883 metres across both winter and spring. Also in the Aosta Valley, Gressoney-La-Trinité hosts the Heliski Monte Rosa base in Stafal, delivering access to high slopes up to 4,527 metres and 180 kilometres of ski area. Across the regional border in Piedmont, Alagna Valsesia offers guided descents on Monte Rosa reaching 4,554 metres alongside 132 kilometres of slopes. In Switzerland's Canton of Valais, Verbier pairs a 410-kilometre ski network with guided helicopter excursions that reach up to 3,330 metres.", "destinationsCount": 9, "countries": [ { "name": "Italy", "count": 7, "url": "https://www.alpematch.com/activities/heli-skiing/italy" }, { "name": "France", "count": 1 }, { "name": "Switzerland", "count": 1 } ] }, "destinations": [ { "name": "Cervinia", "country": "Italy", "region": "Aosta Valley", "altitudeM": 2050, "maxAltitudeM": 3883, "skiAreaKm": 154, "priceLevel": "€€€€", "seasons": [ "winter", "spring" ], "url": "https://www.alpematch.com/locations/cervinia", "json": "https://www.alpematch.com/data/locations/cervinia.json", "services": [ { "name": "Heli-Skiing Cervinia", "seasons": [ "winter", "spring" ], "description": "For the ultimate off-piste adventure, Cervinia offers heli-skiing opportunities.
