The Kamchatka peninsula is one of the worlds most active volcanic hotspots with 29 active volcanoes some of which attain spectacular proportions, Klyuchevkoy the largest by a narrow margin rises from sea level to a lofty 4835m and most of the rideable Volcanic peaks here offer incredible descents of around 2000m vertical, some where you might even make your last deep powder turn on the very shores of the Pacific Ocean itself.

Paul Cross lost on another endless descent in Kamchatka.

The riding here is endless, the peaks stretch out to the distant horizon in every direction and as you stand and gaze down the endless descent before your feet, trying to spot the tiny dot that is the waiting Heli far below, you can't help but smile to yourself, it quite simply doesn't get any better than this!

Our Kamchatka trip is more than just a Heli boarding trip, it is a journey into Russia past, present and future. The sculpted landscape, the dizzying heights and spectacular terrain speaks for itself, but the wild location, the history and the Volcanic activity of the area complete the package to make this a destination not to be missed.

Our Voyager Heli trip to Kamchatka takes place every winter during the month of April when conditions in this far off region are at their best.

Our 10 day trip includes Hotel accommodation with Breakfast included, transport to and from the heli-port or resort as needed, 8 hours of Heli flight time and guiding care of our own McNab Guides.

Our Voyager Kamchatka Heli trip is available to those that have already taken part in our Backcountry Intro course.

Our group sizes are 6 to 2 guides, 1 McNab UIAGM Guide and 1 local Russian guide.

The Heli can take 2 groups at a time and so we can take a maximum of 12 on each week.

This week is all about downhill powder mileage and we can take both Skiers and Snowboarders on the same trip.

Skiing and Snowboard and fitness standards need to be high. On an average Heli day you can expect to ride around 8000m vertical with an average distance of 4 to 5 km under your feet on each descent. This can add up to some tired legs at the end of the day!

Should you use all the designated heli drops during the week and still want more, extra Heli time is available at €2600 per hour between the group.

ABS Backpacks, shovels and probes are provided as standard, transceivers can be supplied as necessary but need to be ordered with your booking.
