Heli Snowshoeing Adventures in the Canadian Rockies

Did you know that the origin of the snowshoe dates back almost 6000 years? It is believed that they started out as modified slabs of wood. Well, we think we can safely say, "We've come a long way, baby!" Today's technology has provided us with streamlined, durable, lightweight snowshoes that are a treat to strap on.

This traditional form of winter travel is now more fun than ever. We add helicopter access to the very best snowshoeing areas, ensuring that you'll be snowshoeing in pristine wilderness within minutes of leaving historic Revelstoke. Heli Canada Adventures invites you into the mystery that is the Canadian Rockies, to explore areas that, who knows, could have been travelled on in this very manner thousands of years ago! Our heli snowshoeing season runs from April 1 – May 30.

The beautiful Selkirk and Monashee mountain ranges around Revelstoke, British Columbia, will be the setting for this special heli snowshoe adventure. The Canadian Rockies offer winter at its most stunning: towering, snow-sculpted peaks; huge tracts of untouched powdery snow...this is backcountry wilderness that the caribou and the wolf call home, and we know it well. You'll have time to admire the views, identify animal tracks in the snow, and capture it all on camera.

Led by highly qualified mountain guides, Heli Canada Adventures' exclusive three- and four-day heli snowshoeing vacations move at your preferred pace. In fact, you'll enjoy these heli snowshoeing adventures even if you've never been snowshoeing before. Your guide can show you the right techniques and you'll be snowshoeing like an expert in no time!

Days will find you snowshoeing through pine forests and high above the tree line; evenings return you to the elegant and welcoming Hillcrest in Revelstoke, anticipating tomorrow's breathtaking helicopter rides and fun backcountry snowshoeing adventures.

Whether you're snowshoeing for the first time, or looking for new backcountry snowshoeing challenges, Heli Canada Adventures' exclusive heli snowshoeing trips will leave you with memories that last forever... or at least until your next snowshoeing trip!
