Canadian Mountain Holidays

What is Heli-Hiking?

The best way to answer this question is to show you!
Take a peek at our video:

Based from our remote mountain lodges, we take short helicopter flights to access some of the most spectacular mountain terrain in North America. We spend the day hiking and exploring, always at a comfortable pace, with long or short, strenuous or leisurely hikes to choose from.

Our guests, not our guides, set the gait.

Each day we immerse ourselves in different mountain environments. Our guides are in constant communication with the lodge's helicopter, so we may make two or three different hikes during the day depending on the guests' interest. Guests may choose to hike all day and not see the helicopter until the end of the afternoon and other guests may chose to take 2 or 3 short hikes in the course of the day. Our golden rules are flexibility and adaptability.

"We last did a CMH holiday six years ago in the Adamants, and were delighted to share this years experience with some very close friends. You wouldn’t know but in April we spent two weeks on a cultural and walking vacation in the Kingdom of Bhutan in the Himalayas. We all enjoyed the cultural uniqueness of Bhutan, but the scenery was blown away by our CMH trip to the Bugaboos!"
