Heli Hiking

Helicopters can access remote mountain wilderness areas surrounding Banff National Park. For hikers of all levels, this means an opportunity for unforgettable walks in the backcountry: alpine meadows, ridges, glaciers, lakes, and wildflowers are all features to be explored.

Heli hiking trips range in length from 1/2 day strolls to several day excursions, with comfortable or luxury backcountry accommodations provided.

Heli hiking tour operators offer certified, knowledgeable hiking guides to lead hiking trips. Some tour operators provide all the gear needed (boots, poles, outer wear, etc.), while others require that you arrive equipped.

Heli hiking tours and vacations are offered by several local tour companies:

• Alpine Helicopters
• Canadian Mountain Holidays (CMH)
• Banff Ski Hub
  
• Discover Banff Tours
• Icefield Helicopter Tours Inc.
• RK Heliski
• White Mountain Adventures
