Kamchatka: land of volcanoes and mecca of Heliski
Kamchatka Territory is one of the most unusual and beautiful regions of Russia, a point of attraction for all travelers. There are more than five hundred active volcanoes: their untouched slopes await brave conquerors and speed lovers! Here you can also relax in the hot springs, go on a walk through the Valley of Geysers, or see it from a bird's eye view - from a helicopter.
A helicopter means not only great views on sightseeing excursions, but also maximum freedom of choice. We will choose volcanoes with the best snow, every day you will make the first line on the slope. In non-flying weather, we will keep you busy with equally amazing activities: snowmobile rides to freeride spots, surfing/kayaking in the ocean (yes, in winter!), sled dog rides, climbing volcanoes in jeeps, ski touring and backcountry.
Season for heli-skiing in Kamchatka: from early February to May.
Transport: Toyota and Mercedes minibuses, prepared SUVs, Mi-8 helicopters, Airbus Helicopters EC130 T2, Gazelle
Volcano Koryaksky
This giant volcano is the first thing you see at Petropavlovsk airport. The highest active volcano in Kamchatka (3456 m) is a fantastic place, ideal for heli-skiing: many couloirs and lines, with vertical drops of up to 2700 m, a slope of 20-30° and incredible views of the Pacific Ocean.
Avachinsky volcano
The height of this active volcano is 2741 m, at its top there is a huge crater and hot gases rise from cracks (fumaroles). There is a glacier on the northern side of Avachinsky volcano. There are a huge number of suitable descent lines here.
Volcano Mutnovsky
Height - 2332 m, slope - 20-30°. Mutnovsky volcano is active and consists of cones connected into an array. Here you can see fumaroles, an acid lake and a large glacier, as well as get the unique experience of descending directly into the crater.
Vilyuchinsky volcano
The volcano is 2173 m high and has an almost perfect cone shape. This feature means that the lines available for descent diverge almost 360°. With couloirs, snow fields and a slope of up to 40°, there is a route for both experienced freeriders and people of average skill level.
Khalaktyrsky beach
Must-see in Kamchatka: black volcanic sand, endless expanse or stormy ocean waters, panoramic views of the bizarre slopes of volcanoes. A great place for a walk, photo shoot or picnic to the sound of the waves, in a peaceful environment and in unity with majestic nature.
Avacha Bay
Rocky cliffs, secluded grottoes, the grandeur of the ocean - you can see all this in the atmospheric Avacha Bay. We invite you to choose exactly how to get to know this place - from the heights of the hills or from the side of a boat, going on a cruise.
You are just a few steps away from heli-skiing freeride in Kamchatka!

Northern group of volcanoes
Kozelsky volcano
An extinct and partially destroyed volcano with a height of 2190 m, closely adjacent to Avachinsky.
Dozens of lines from southeast to west, amazing in their diversity: angles of inclination and terrain for every taste! When descending, a magnificent view of the ocean opens up. The snow does not melt here all year round, so people can ski from Kozelsky even in the warm season. Avacha Volcano
An active volcano, the last serious eruption occurred in 1991.
The height is 2741 m, and climbing to the top in winter requires serious mountaineering skills, so the only chance to descend from it on a snowboard or skis is to be transported to the top by helicopter. Koryaksky volcano
One of the highest volcanoes in Kamchatka - its absolute height is 3456 m. The angle of inclination of 20-30°, the variety of lines and large differences in height make the descent from Koryaksky volcano truly extreme. This volcano is active and was last active in 2009.

Heli-ski day
Heli-skiing is a unique opportunity to feel like a pioneer and quench your thirst for adrenaline. After such descents, the slopes of any ski resorts in the world will seem boring. Only speed, untouched snow and endless freedom!
How to plan a heli-skiing day as part of the tour:
The choice of ski area depends on the weather and snow conditions.
For your safety, it is determined by a professional guide together with the pilot. During one flight it is usually possible to make from 5 to 9 descents. Specific numbers depend on the situation: with ideal flying weather, we can reach higher altitudes and make long descents that take longer - accordingly, the number of descents will be fewer, the length of the descents will be 2-6 km.
Please note that for heli-skiing you must meet a fairly high level of skiing - feel confident on and off piste, have experience skiing on soft and hard snow.
Meals: lunch with wild salmon and red caviar on the ocean

On the way to the volcano in prepared jeeps, you will be able to enjoy other picturesque views.
Another option to spend this day is to go by jeep to the Avachinsky pass, where you can climb the Camel hill on foot. Here we will have a picnic with a stunning view of the gigantic “home” volcanoes. At the pass you can often meet gophers, which feed from the hands of tourists without fear.

Vilyuchinsky Volcano
This extinct volcano seems to be specially created for heli-skiing.
Judge for yourself: the ideal cone-shaped shape allows you to organize a descent from almost any slope; the climate of this part of Kamchatka shifts the closing season to June; and from the top of Vilyuchinsky a delightful panorama opens up: the ocean, Avachinskaya and Vilyuchinskaya bays, volcanoes and mountains to the very horizon... The absolute height is 2173 m. There is the possibility of descending directly to the ocean in the nearby fjords with a height difference of up to 700 m. Mutnovsky Volcano An active volcano
representing consists of several cones combined into an array. The height of 2322 meters and impressive slopes of 20-30° are not the only reason why Mutnovsky is so interesting for heli-skiing. Only here you can go down into the crater along a huge side crack or from the upper edge to the fantastic fumarole fields!

Khalaktyrsky beach
This legendary beach delights even the most experienced travelers.
Here you can truly feel the grandeur of nature and the delight of how diverse the landscapes it has created are. Near the slopes, completely covered with streams of solidified lava, a strip of sand of amazing color begins - it is absolutely black due to its volcanic origin.
The waves of the boundless Pacific Ocean roll onto the shore with a rhythmic roar - they create special music that seems to immerse you in meditation... In the afternoon we will go up to the observation deck (Petrovskaya Hill). It offers a beautiful view of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Avacha Bay.
