Héliski : 

Thanks to its exceptional geographical location on the border with Italy, Megeve is the ideal base camp for Heliskiing activities.
In one day, nothing could be easier than to cross the "Mont-Blanc Tunnel" to reach the "Courmayeur" helicopter base and take off towards different itineraries and accessible ski slopes. We can make the outing easy or more sporty, glacial or non-glacial, by skiing or snowboarding in the "Val Veny" 

Put your trust in your ski instructor or mountain guide who will choose the best places for you to enjoy the sport (North face or South face) depending on your ski level, expectation for the day and various seasonal weather conditions.
