Alpine Helicopters provides helicopter sightseeing tours and heli-hiking adventures in the Canadian Rocky Mountains from its tour facility located at the Canmore Municipal Heliport (22km east of Banff). Helicopter custom charters and heli-weddings are also available.

     

Take the time to discover natural alpine landscapes and high mountain vistas on an Alpine Helicopters hike. Feel free to explore while your experienced guide provides knowledgeable commentary on the areas of geography and flora and fauna. This excursion offers a 9 minute scenic helicopter flight to a secluded area high above the Bow River Valley and 3 to 4 hours of hiking, with a pace and distance covered depending entirely on the ability of the group.

Private Helicopter Charters

From our Canmore Base we operate a number of different aircraft. Passengers are usually carried in groups of 4 and 6. For Charters, the type of aircraft used and the number of passengers per aircraft depend on a number of factors: activity type, group size, gear and trip distance.

Royal Canadian Heli Hike

Your journey will start with a 25 minute sight seeing tour, which takes you soaring over mountain ranges and delivers you to Mount Charles Stewart, where adventure awaits. The hike, led by a qualified guide, explores scenic alpine ridges and meadows. The difficulty of the hike depends entirely on the ability of the group and will last 3 to 4 hours.
