Helicopter ride over the Rocky Mountains

Are you ready to take your adventure to new heights? Be taken in a helicopter over the Rocky Mountains for the experience of a lifetime. This has been described by guests as one of the best helicopter tours anywhere in the world.


This awe-inspiring trip takes you up to the headwaters of Cline River, which is fed by Pinto Lake. Reaching an altitude of 3048 metres, in the distance your eyes will spy the Columbia Icefield and Continental Divide. Flying by the west face of Cirrus Mountain is the Weeping Wall. Weather conditions during winter make the Weeping Wall at the base of Cirrus Mountain’s west face the premier place for ice climbing.

Passing over the Icefield Parkway is where you will encounter Mount Columbia and the Columbia Icefield, where you will view the large crevasses, fissures, and stunning blue of glacial ice from above. The next mountainous encounter is with Mount Cline. Mount Cline is one of only a handful of, 3352-metre peaks east of the Continental Divide. Once past Mount Cline you’ll have the chance to view the Cline, White Goat, Lion, Lioness, Resolute, and Hanging Glacier. Please bring layers and wear closed-toed shoes. Enjoy the flight!
