FAQ
Frequently asked questions
In the Val d'Aran, based at the Vielha (Betrén) helipad. Wide domain (~400 km², ~1,200–3,000 m). The Baqueira lift pass stays below: the helicopter takes you to off-piste lines (Molières, Montardo, Baciver, Maubèrme) per weather and avalanche conditions.
Usual point: Hotel Tuca parking (~08:30; time confirmed the evening before). No driving to the helipad: there is a shuttle. At base, briefing, forms and companion-rescue practice before flying. Half day or full day: allow minimum ~3 h from arrival.
Classic: the B3+ is shared among up to 4 groups (max. 16 people; 4 riders + guide per flight). Private: the aircraft is exclusive (up to 8 people); charged by flight time, with unlimited vertical within that allowance.
Own skis/snowboard yes, with waist ≥ 90 mm and well-set bindings. Avalanche kit (airbag pack, transceiver, shovel, probe) is from the operator: mandatory, to ensure it works.
Usually December–April, always subject to snow, wind and aircraft capacity. If weather does not open, it is rescheduled or the page cancellation policy applies.
