Arkhyz, Aksautskaya and Maruhskaya valleys, as well as the gorge Gonachkhir will undoubtedly affect your imagination.

The Heli-ski programmes in the Elbrus and Dombai regions involve the service of MI-8 MTB helicopters with proficient aircrews. This type of helicopters is designed especially for active functioning in the highland and approved their safety by long-term use in different mountain systems of the world beginning with Kamchatka and Pamir to Tien Shan and The Himalayas. We co-operate with the senior-grade pilots who have many years’ experience in Caucasus highland. They do not simply make their job but fulfill their duty with a great caution and ensure safety. The qualification of the pilots allow setting down the passengers at a height of 5000 m and gather them on the narrow sites.
