Heli-skiing Heaven
Travel doesn’t get much more adventurous than heli-skiing; it’s the ultimate in adrenaline-fuelled back-country skiing, with a helicopter whisking you away to untouched powder on challenging trails.
If your heart is already beating a little faster, you’ll be pleased to discover there’s a new and exclusive heli-ski adventure on offer in New Zealand. Over the course of the eight-night itinerary, you’ll be based in Chalet New Zermatt, a newly opened five-star chalet property overlooking Queenstown’s Lake Wakatipu. The amazing line-up of activities includes skiing at Coronet Peak and the Remarkables, as well as two days of private heli-skiing (with access to 850,000 hectares of heli-skiing terrain!), wine tasting with a winemaker, jet boat transfers, Fjordland exploring, and gourmet dining at a remote mountain station – accessed by helicopter again – where freshly caught crayfish is prepared for lunch.
The chalet can take up to eight guests in four bedrooms, and the holiday costs NZ$264,000 (approximately S$230,000 or $28,750 per person), on a full-board basis with a private chef and including all the activities and excursions with private use of a helicopter throughout the week. It’s available from mid-July through to mid-September 2020.
