BANFF - Heli-Hiking in the Canadian Rockies

Join one of our guides for one of the best days of helicopter riding you can imagine, from our base in the beautiful mountain town of Canmore, Alberta. 

You'll be flown by helicopter through the Cougar Mountain Valley in the Eastern Canadian Rockies, then dropped off in a high alpine meadow where you'll have some fantastic high altitude hiking. You'll be the only one for miles with a breathtaking view of the mountain in every direction! From the starting point, you will have 2.5 to 3 hours to hike the open meadows and ridges with your guide before the helicopter flight back to Canmore.

The helicopter ride varies in difficulty from easy to moderate depending on the group composition with many changes in terrain. You will have the opportunity to hike over grassy ridges, cross streams, see herds of bighorn sheep and climb one of the peaks or hike to an ancient native medicine wheel.
