Heli-Skiing is banned in France for this reason Whitetracks organises Heli-skiing and Heli-boarding for small corporate groups, hen & Stag groups, general public groups in Italy and Switzerland.

Heli-skiing was banned on Mont Blanc by the French President Valerie Giscard after he skied it by helicopter. He appreciated the argument that had been put towards him for the ban that Heli-skiing disturbs the environment and causes a great deal of noise in relation to the number of people who can benefit from this activity. For these same reasons the 1st Mitterand government generalised this to the whole of France. Helicopters are now only allowed to be used in France for work, rescue or transport NOT Heli-skiing or boarding.

Heli Skiing or Heli Boarding is the ultimate experience for every serious skier and snowboarder. Heli Skiing / Boarding does not have to be restricted to just experienced snow users, with the recent introduction of fat skis, improved technology and equipment you don't have to be the hardcore, die-hard dedicated Snowsport enthusiast to enjoy effortless powder turns through untracked fresh snow that can last for miles over thousands of metres of vertical drop.
