Heli-ski Methven in New Zealand’s Arrowsmith and Ragged ranges on the operator’s five-run day. The 2026 package runs from 18 July through 20 September and is priced at NZD 1,695 per person. Guests meet at the Methven Heli office for a 07:45 check-in before transferring to the Glenfalloch Station helipad when required.
The tenure spans three mountain ranges and more than 250 named runs, with views along the Southern Alps toward Aoraki Mount Cook. Terrain is intended for confident intermediate through expert skiers and snowboarders. The operator welcomes solo travellers and couples, requires enough bookings to operate the day and guides no more than four guests per guide.
The standard day includes five heli-ski runs averaging approximately 750–1,000 vertical metres each. Guides select terrain in the Arrowsmith and Ragged ranges for snow, weather and group ability. Guests should be reasonably fit, confident and at least Heli 2 level; this is not positioned as a beginner product. Additional runs cost NZD 165 per person when conditions and group logistics permit.
