Heliski weekend – 3 days in Riksgränsen, Lapland

Our heli-ski area in the northern part of Swedish Lapland is unique. Sized like half of Austria and more than 100 mountains to ski.

We offer high-quality heli-skiing. Our small group sizes of only five guests per mountain guide ensure minimal waiting time and max vertical. In private or semi-private heli-ski we explore the wilderness of northern Sweden.
We also have lift-accessed off-piste skiing right where we stay in Riksgränsen and skiing with a sea view close by in Narvik.

Travel to Rikgränsen – 4 hour flight time from London
We are stationed in the the very north of Sweden, 200 km north of the Arctic Circle, on the border to Norway. You fly via Stockholm to Kiruna in Swedish Lapland, from here it is about 1,5 hour transfer to Riksgränsen by car or train. Another option is to fly via Oslo to Narvik/Evenes airport with in also 1,5 hour transfer time to Riksgränsen by car.

Flexible heli-skiing – helicopter and mountain guide at your service every day
We offer flexible heli-ski trips where mountain guide, helicopter, pilot and ground transport for lift-accessed off-piste skiing all are included. If the weather prevents us from flying we will use the local ski lift at our base Riksgränsen or go to Abisko, Björkliden or Narvik ski resort for lift-accessed off-piste skiing.

Testimonials
Words that we are proud of.

We had an out-of-this-world time heliskiing with Andreas from Mountain Guide Travel on close to dozen peaks.  Not sure if there are many resorts that can beat the scenery with so many peaks and frozen lakes in close proximity but certainly there aren't many guides that can make the experience so special, exciting and yet secure.
