Heli-skiing adventure in Åre

Heli-Skiing In Sweden

Your helicopter and a professional ski guide will pick you up near your villa in Åre and fly you to the first mountain top, a beautiful ten-minute ride away. Imagine thick, untouched, powdery snow. Getting up there normally takes 2 – 5 hours by foot. With our helicopter you will reach the top in a couple of minutes.

Put on your skiing glasses. Off you go. Your adrenaline is pumping, but you can always be sure to be on a safe path thanks to our experienced off-piste guides. After an exciting skiing experience, your pilot will be waiting at the bottom to fly you to the next mountain top — or ride the same route again.

Mr Charles Plans Your Heli-Skiing Adventure

Flying a helicopter in winter conditions requires skills and experience. Mr Charles pilots will fly you safely over and over again to some of the greatest slopes near Åre, Sweden.

A heli-lift however is always dependent on the weather. During days of snowfall, low visibility, or strong winds the tour needs to be postponed. When flying with Mr Charles you do not have to plan, stay updated about the weather conditions or keep in touch with a booking agent. We will do the planning and make sure that a helicopter will be ready for takeoff to the best slopes as soon as the weather allows.

Meanwhile you can enjoy one of the various other activities in Åre, or just relax in your private ski lodge.

Helicopter sightseeing in Åre

Sightseeing In Åre And Funäsdalen

The mountains and nature in the vicinity of Åre down to Funäsdalen is the perfect route for a helicopter sightseeing tour. Combine your heli-skiing adventure with a scenic detour to explore the winter wonderland through canyons, rivers, forests, and wide mountain landscapes above the treeline.

Or why not book a tour just to do some sightseeing? This option is available year-round, regardless of snow conditions. Your pilot will show you the most amazing scenic views of the Swedish mountains. He will land on a place of his choice to let you explore the surroundings and enjoy a fantastic lunch prepared by Mr Charles' Chef.

Hunting And Fishing Trips With Heli-Lift

Get out into the wild and discover what Sweden has to offer in terms of hunting and fishing. During the hunting season, Mr Charles will arrange a helicopter for you to get to the best spots in the Jämtland and Härjedalen mountains. We can land practically anywhere. You decide the destination, or you may let Mr Charles' skilled hunting guides show you their favourite places.

Fishing is a year-round activity in the Swedish Alps. Take a short helicopter ride to get to the very best trout and char-filled lakes. Land by the lake — or on the lake in winter. Of course, your dog may come along on any adventure.

Exclusive mountain picnic in the Swedish Alps

Exclusive Mountain Picnic

If you are more in the mood to relax but would like to get a rather unique experience, Mr Charles recommends his exclusive mountain picnic. This is an activity that can be arranged year-round. Mr Charles' helicopter pilot will give you splendid sightseeing by air. Discover canyons, rivers, lakes, and mountains. After touching down on a scenic place Mr Charles will serve a fantastic picnic, adjusted for the time of the year.

What about some champagne, oysters, reindeer meat, fresh fruits and newly baked pies and other delicatesses? Or maybe grilled trout is more your style? Mr Charles' Gourmet Chef knows how to make an impression, also in the wild.

In the winter Mr Charles will build a snow bar with comfy seats. During the other seasons he will make sure to bring whatever is needed for you to relax comfortably in nature. A small fire will help you keep warm if necessary.

Family Adventures By Helicopter

Of course, the young ones will enjoy a helicopter ride — more than anybody else, we guess. Mr Charles has an entertainer who knows how to enchant your kids, but also yourself.

Departing from your accommodation in Åre you will embark on an adventure by air. Watch the wonders of the winter, spot the traces of the wild animals, go fishing on a frozen lake and find out where the yeti hides. Did you know that there are rumours about an infamous monster in the lake Storsjön? Perhaps you will spot it.

Do we prepare hotdogs on an open fire for lunch? We definitely do.
