"Day Trips"

Downhill runs (10 - 25 km!) high up in the Alps and endless deep powder slopes is what Central Switzerland, Bernese Oberland and the canton of Valais hold at store for you. The best slopes of Switzerland, powder and a helicopter - can a passionate snowboarder ask for more?
On serene days, the slopes are a stunning sight from the helicopter. They are the very slopes where you will soon be carving the first trenches of the day. After the impressive helicopter flight, the pilot will drop you and the Sudden-Rush guide will inform you about the tour. Requirements: solid skills, no alpinist experience required. Quite obviously, heliboarding in Switzerland does not stand comparison with heliboarding in Canada or Alaska. For seasoned boarders, we recommend the more demanding tours in Northern Italy.
