If you are looking for heliski in Spain, the answer is the Val d'Aran (Catalan Pyrenees). It is the only corridor with an authorized wide domain, base at the Vielha (Betrén) helipad and commercial hub beside Baqueira Beret.

Where heliski happens in Spain
There is no commercial heliski spread across the country: operations concentrate in the Val d'Aran. From Vielha you fly ~400 km² of alpine terrain with typical 500–800 m descents. Baqueira Beret stays below; the helicopter drops you outside the lift pass.
- Usual meet: Hotel Tuca parking + shuttle to Betrén
- Typical aircraft: Ecureuil B3+ (4 riders + guide)
- Mandatory safety kit (airbag, transceiver, shovel, probe)
Peaks and usual lines
The four most booked landings in Spain are Aran 3,000 m peaks and bowls that rotate per weather and avalanche conditions.
- Tuc de Molières (3,010 m) — classic 3,000 m, single drop or anchor day
- Montardo (2,833 m) — open versatile bowl
- Baciver — half-day Classic beside Baqueira
- Maubèrme (2,880 m) — northern border, ideal on Private
