The experience
Your guide knows where the snow is.
Your job is to ski it.
Each morning the guide assesses conditions, aspect, and snowpack before you arrive. The day is built around your group — your ability, your ambitions, the terrain available. No fixed route. No repeated lines.
The terrain
400 km². One operation.
400 km²
Exclusive area
The entire operating zone is reserved for Pyrenees Heliski. No shared terrain. No other operators.
500 –800m
Vertical per run
North-facing couloirs in January. Wide open spring faces in March. Multiple orientations, consistent snow.
Max 4
Groups simultaneously
We limit the number of groups on the mountain at any time. The terrain stays private by design.

The valley
Heliski in the morning.
The Val d’Arán
in the evening.
Most heliski operations end the day at a remote lodge. Ours ends in a valley with five-star hotels, restaurants that serious diners travel to specifically, and a culture — its own language, architecture, and gastronomy — that belongs to no other place.
- Five-star hotels and boutique mountain properties
- Mountain dining that rivals any ski destination in Europe
- Baqueira-Beret ski resort — adjacent, included in packages as backup
- Aranese culture — its own language, architecture, and cuisine
