When we say ‘Classic’ in Kamchatka, it does not mean anything standard. Compared with most other heliski destinations in the world nothing is typical here: This is a private, exploratory programme, which gives you more than 30,000 square kilometres of Kamchatka’s heliski terrain. You’ll be skiing and snowboarding on endless volcanic slopes, descending into the crater of an active volcano, birch tree skiing, taking runs down to the coast of Pacific ocean - and much more.

Although operating relatively close to the lodge you will get to ski some of the region's classic volcanoes and experience some of the most scenic coastal runs, often ending right on the beach.


Group Size

10 guests and 3 guides per helicopter.
On the terrain a group will be split into two, each with 5 guests and 1 guide.

Flight Hours

8 flight hours are included.
In terms of skiing it means approximately 25,000 vertical meters.


ITINERARY
Arrival day

After arriving at Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky airport in the morning, it’s a 30 minute transfer to heliport, then 30 minutes flight to the lodge. Once in the lodge, we’ll meet and greet and have lunch. This is followed by our guest and safety briefings, then you can relax in the hot springs before dinner. The safety briefing includes reviewing avalanche and helicopter safety protocols.

What about if the weather does not allow us to fly into the lodge? On those rare occasions we will accommodate you in a 3 or 4 star hotel close to the heliport, and cover all the same intro activities. If the weather improves the same day, we fly in. Or we’ll fly the next day - we start with heliskiing straight away, and later in the day arrive to the lodge.

Days 2-6

Heliskiing days - our guides set the pace and rhythm of the programme so that everyone enjoys it to the fullest. After each day of skiing you can relax and enjoy lounging in the hot springs, a classic Russian Banya session, different kinds of massage or a yoga/stretching class - all followed by a delicious dinner and an evening chatting by the fireplace. For those interested, we’ll provide film sessions about Kamchatka and other unique parts of Russia.

Departure day

After a good breakfast, we'll load the luggage and take a 30 minute flight to the heliport. Here we transfer to the Petropavlovsk airport, where guests can take a flight to Moscow or other cities in Russia.

If we suspect bad weather on departure day, we may depart the evening before, and accommodate you in a 3 or 4 star hotel close to the airport.
