Helicopter Tours to See the Rockies from Way Above!

We all know the Canadian Rockies is a special place. It attracts millions of visitors a year and there is absolutely no end of things to do and see. One of the most unique and thrilling ways you can experience the Rockies is by getting out of them. By which I mean high above them! The mountains have a tendency to make us feel small, insignificant and full of respect. It’s this feeling of awe and inspiration that many visitors are looking for when they visit these great peaks and valleys. Get into a helicopter, and be swept into the troposphere. It will be something you’ll never forget. The professionals at Alpine Helicopter in Canmore really know how to deliver an amazing experience. Take a look at some of their incredible tours that will be sure to take your breath away this summer.

Mt. Assiniboine Tour

 

 
This sensational flight incorporates all the sights of the previous tours as well as transporting you to the “Matterhorn of the Canadian Rockies” which rises majestically to 3,611 meters (11,870 feet) along the Great Divide.

Marvel Pass Tour

 

 
Located on the southwest border of Banff National Park, Marvel Pass has long been a favourite spot for that special private moment. This tour is treated as a private charter so your privacy is guaranteed. Flying south from Canmore you will pass the Three Sisters, over the Spray Reservoir and the high ridges to Marvel Lake and the famous Mount Assiniboine, also known as the “Matterhorn of the Rockies”. Our pilot takes you in for a close-up look at the hanging glaciers before heading south to Marvel Pass. You are dropped off at 7200 feet, close to Cabin Lake, surrounded by larch trees, small lakes, and towering peaks. This spectacular location offers breathtaking vistas which are perfect for marriage proposals.
