Heliskiing in Argentinian Patagonia!

Pioneer of Heliskiing in Argentina, the Heliski Argentina Team has been exploring since decades valleys, peaks, and glaciers of unexplored Patagonian mountains to provide an unforgettable experience to its guests.

This deep passion, along with extensive experience and strict operational protocols, upholds the highest standards of safety and guest service. Heliski Argentina is excited to offer you the opportunity to conquer descents on these remote peaks.

Mountains & Terrains

The terrain encompasses a vast section of the Patagonian Andes Mountains, situated in the Chubut province of southern Argentina, south of the 42nd parallel. This area stretches from the towering peaks and glaciers near the Chilean border to the arid ranges above the Patagonian steppe. Heliski Argentina operates out of Cholila, a tranquil, small town nestled at the foot of these mountains. From here, you can fly over stunning and untamed mountainous landscapes, exploring ski terrain such as Cerro Dos Picos (2,515 meters), PlanchĂłn Nevado (2,400 meters), Cerro Tres Picos (2,490 meters), and many others.

Thanks to the proximity to the Pacific Ocean, these mountains receive abundant precipitation, leaving most of them blanketed with glaciers. With a vast array of ski terrain available, Heliski Argentina can cater to skiers and riders of nearly all skill levels. The area offers a little bit of everything, from expansive alpine bowls and seemingly endless glacier runs to steep technical descents, couloirs, and alpine meadows.

The Package

Heliski Argentina offers 4 and 7-night packages with respectively 3 and 6 days of heliskiing. The packages include first-class lodging and all meals and a free number of runs with a maximum of 2:30 flight hours per day and runs of up to 1.000 meters of vertical drop or more.

Included are also the transfers in/ out from Bariloche Airport/ Esquel Airport to Cholila, UIAGM mountain and heliskiing guiding service (2 every 4 pax), backcountry safety operation base, use of personal avalanche and safety equipment (tracker- snow shovel- probe pole and backpack with airbag).

With a Base Elevation of 545 m (1.790 ft.), the Highest Landing at 2.498 m (8.195 ft.), and an average run size of 800 vertical meters (2.625 vertical feet), Heliski Argentina provides an unparalleled experience of Heliskiing in Argentinian Patagonia!

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldives’ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
