Located in Italy&#8217;s beautiful Aosta Valley, which runs along the French-Italian border, parallel to the Upper Tarentaise Valley, there are 7 authorised landing spots in Valgrisenche alone, giving you access to a huge variety of high altitude terrain and a vertical drop from 1000 m to 2200 m. <\/p>\n<p>Ski everything from glaciers, steeps and couloirs, down to forests and open powder fields. With many summits over 3000 m, a typical run will cover 2000 m of vertical descent.<\/p>\n<p>Each drop point has a variety of options, so your guide will tailor the route to the conditions on the day, which means you maximise your chances of skiing untracked powder. You can never guarantee perfect conditions, but in Valgrisenche, the north facing slopes mean that from February to April there&#8217;s a high chance you&#8217;ll be able to ski from the summit to the valley floor.<\/p>\n<p>With huge descents, the heliskiing in Valgrisenche will delight the fittest skiers, and the pretty village of Valgrisenche-la-Trinit\u00e9as will charm anyone who enjoys the good-humoured Italian-style apr\u00e8s-ski.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Heli-Skiing in Val Veny<\/h3>\n<p>Val Veny adds a bit of Italian flair to your Mont Blanc heli-skiing trip! The drop zone on Mont Fortin (2758 m) with its steep powder slopes overlooking the mighty Mont Blanc is grandiose. On the southern slopes you can expect exposed glaciers powder fields and steeps leading down to Lac de Combal (1951 m). The north facing slopes are steeper and more engaged providing an unforgettable heliskiing experience.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Watch this: Heli-skiing in Val Veny with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/directory\/listing\/heliski-mont-blanc-chamonix\">HELISKIMONTBLANC<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"730\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5WkpCp041nQ?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Please leave a comment below if you need specific advice for your Heli-Skiing trip in the Italian Alps, or if you have any recommendations to help us improve this guide.

Ski everything from 4000 m summits to huge glaciers and forest runs. In the middle of winter, the high altitude combined with mainly south facing slopes means skiers can enjoy both sunshine and fresh powder.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your skiing or snowboarding ability, Courmayeur has a heli-skiing itinerary to suit. First-timers can ski wide powder fields high on the glacier whilst thrill-seekers can take on steep couloirs and remote big mountain terrain. When it comes to heli-skiing, Courmayeur has it all.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Heli-Skiing in Valgrisenche and the Aosta Valley<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Right on the border between Italy and Switzerland, Valgrisenche is a mountain kingdom of legendary 4000 m peaks, including Monte Rosa, Lyskamm, Pointe Dufour, Matterhorn, Castor and Pollux.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/heliskiing-valgrisenche-italy.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/heliskiing-valgrisenche-italy.jpg\" alt=\"Heliskiing in Valgrisenche in the Italian Alps\" title=\"Heliskiing in Valgrisenche in the Italian Alps\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/heliskiing-valgrisenche-italy.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/heliskiing-valgrisenche-italy-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/heliskiing-valgrisenche-italy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/heliskiing-valgrisenche-italy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/heliskiing-valgrisenche-italy-240x160.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/heliskiing-valgrisenche-italy-350x234.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/heliskiing-valgrisenche-italy-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<em>Heli-Skiing in Courmayeur in the Italian Alps<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Valgrisenche is, for good reason, one of the most popular heli-skiing destinations in the Alps. Located in Italy&#8217;s beautiful Aosta Valley, which runs along the French-Italian border, parallel to the Upper Tarentaise Valley, there are 7 authorised landing spots in Valgrisenche alone, giving you access to a huge variety of high altitude terrain and a vertical drop from 1000 m to 2200 m. <\/p>\n<p>Ski everything from glaciers, steeps and couloirs, down to forests and open powder fields. With many summits over 3000 m, a typical run will cover 2000 m of vertical descent.<\/p>\n<p>Each drop point has a variety of options, so your guide will tailor the route to the conditions on the day, which means you maximise your chances of skiing untracked powder. You can never guarantee perfect conditions, but in Valgrisenche, the north facing slopes mean that from February to April there&#8217;s a high chance you&#8217;ll be able to ski from the summit to the valley floor.<\/p>\n<p>With huge descents, the heliskiing in Valgrisenche will delight the fittest skiers, and the pretty village of Valgrisenche-la-Trinit\u00e9as will charm anyone who enjoys the good-humoured Italian-style apr\u00e8s-ski.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Heli-Skiing in Val Veny<\/h3>\n<p>Val Veny adds a bit of Italian flair to your Mont Blanc heli-skiing trip! The drop zone on Mont Fortin (2758 m) with its steep powder slopes overlooking the mighty Mont Blanc is grandiose. On the southern slopes you can expect exposed glaciers powder fields and steeps leading down to Lac de Combal (1951 m). The north facing slopes are steeper and more engaged providing an unforgettable heliskiing experience.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Watch this: Heli-skiing in Val Veny with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ultimatefrance.com\/directory\/listing\/heliski-mont-blanc-chamonix\">HELISKIMONTBLANC<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><iframe width=\"730\" height=\"411\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5WkpCp041nQ?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Please leave a comment below if you need specific advice for your Heli-Skiing trip in the Italian Alps, or if you have any recommendations to help us improve this guide.
