Heliskiing in the Pyrenees

Experience the adventure of heliskiing in the Pyrenees with Caranva Sports

Imagine a helicopter dropping you off at a lonely peak, surrounded by a sea of ​​snow-capped peaks and an imposing silence. In front of you, a blanket of virgin powder awaits your first footprints. This isn't a dream; it's the experience of heliskiing in the Pyrenees , the purest and most exhilarating form of freeride skiing. Glide down inaccessible slopes and experience a day of adrenaline and pure nature.

At Caranva Sports, we offer you a safe, exclusive, and memorable heli-skiing experience. Based in the heart of the Pyrenees, we operate in the best areas, including the Aran Valley, near Baqueira, to guarantee you the best snow conditions.

What level of skiing do I need to go heliskiing?

Heliskiing isn't exclusive to professional skiers, but it does require a good level of skill. To fully enjoy and be safe, you need to be comfortable skiing on all types of ungroomed snow (powder, crust, spring) and fluently master the red and black runs. If you have a good level of off-piste skiing, you're more than ready.

We'll answer any questions you may have before enjoying this unique experience.

Where can I go heliskiing in the Pyrenees?

Our main base of operations is located in the Aran Valley , a privileged location due to its proximity to the Baqueira Beret resort and the quality and abundance of its snowfall. This strategic location allows us to access a wide variety of runs and orientations so you can always find the best powder snow.

Is heli-skiing safe?

Safety is the cornerstone of our operations. All our guides are professionals with the highest certification (UIAGM) and extensive experience in the area. We conduct exhaustive analyses of the snow cover and weather conditions before each outing. Furthermore, all the safety equipment we provide is state-of-the-art and mandatory. Before starting, you will receive comprehensive training on how to use it.

What is the difference between downhill skiing, freeride skiing, and heliskiing?

Although all three are based on sliding on snow, the experience is very different:

• Piste skiing: Practiced on marked slopes groomed by a ski resort. This is the most controlled environment.
• Freeride: This involves skiing off-piste, seeking untreated snow. These areas are accessed via the resort's lifts or by ski touring (foqueando).
• Heliskiing: This is the ultimate expression of freeride. A helicopter is used to access remote and otherwise inaccessible peaks and slopes, guaranteeing descents on 100% virgin snow.
