Are The Tours Accessible?

We strive to accommodate all guests to the best of our ability. However, it’s important to note that helicopter tours have certain limitations regarding accessibility due to the nature of the aircraft and operational constraints. Here’s what you need to know:

• Mobility Restrictions: Our helicopters require passengers to climb in and out of the aircraft with assistance from our ground crew. Due to space constraints and safety regulations, individuals with mobility impairments may find it challenging to board and disembark from the helicopter. Our ground crew will assist to the best of their ability to accommodate mobility restrictions
• Seating Arrangements: Our helicopters have limited space, and seating is allocated based on weight distribution for safety reasons. While we will do our best to accommodate specific seating requests, we prioritize safety and weight distribution in our seating arrangements.
• Wheelchair Accessibility: Unfortunately, our helicopters are not equipped to accommodate wheelchairs or mobility devices. Passengers must be able to transfer from their wheelchair to the helicopter seat with assistance from our ground crew.
• Service Animals: Service animals are not permitted in the helicopter but are welcome on the base and building.
• Safety Considerations: For safety reasons, passengers must be able to understand and follow safety instructions provided by our crew before and during the flight. This includes wearing appropriate safety restraints and following emergency procedures if necessary.

We understand that every individual’s accessibility needs may vary, and we encourage you to contact us directly to discuss any specific requirements or concerns you may have. Our team will do our utmost to accommodate your needs and ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience with Alpine Helicopters.

Weather & Cancellation: Our pilots always make the final call with weather and cancellations. Where possible we make that call at least one hour before the flight time. This is not always guaranteed and being in the mountains means that weather can change pretty quickly. We reserve the right to cancel a tour at any point with regards to safety, weather and client satisfaction. If your group wishes to cancel please inform us as soon as possible.

Transport to and from our bases: We have very limited transport availability to and from our bases, you will need to contact us to arrange pickup and it may not be possible. From Banff we suggest guests using Roam Transport Route Number 3 to get between Banff and our Canmore Base.

• Driving Directions from Banff National Park: Approximately 20-25 minutes via Trans-Canada Highway heading East
• Driving Directions from Calgary, AB: Roughly a one-hour drive via Trans Canada Highway heading West, exit at 91.
