Winter is only 3 months away but if you haven’t already got your plans locked in, don’t panic, we still have some great trips available.

That said, don’t put it off because these spots won’t be around for long. Here are our top picks from 2026’s remaining dates...Contact us for these and more.

Last Frontier Heliskiing Safari

  • Seven days of heli-skiing including 30,500 vertical metres

Svalbard

Svalbard is an incredible destination in its own right – an Arctic wilderness, both pristine and breathtaking. Ski-touring enables you to fully appreciate its grandeur and make sublime turns in a place that few will ever see, let alone ski.

Available to book exclusively or by cabin.

  • 1 night pre-charter B&B hotel accommodation

Heli-Ski Safari

By Jonas Ernevi •

This is not your regular Canadian heli-skiing. This is big wild northern British Columbia and compared to southern BC with all of its heli-ski operations sandwiched together; it’s like a different country.
