A flight with Alpine Helicopters is one of the most unforgettable ways to see the Canadian Rockies — and something you just can’t replicate from the ground.

You’ll take off right from Canmore and fly over glaciers, alpine lakes, and rugged peaks that are otherwise completely inaccessible.

Short scenic flights start around $339 per person and already give you insane views, but if you want the full experience, you can upgrade to a tour with an alpine landing (around $945), where you actually step out on top of a remote mountain.

It’s definitely a splurge, but if you’re celebrating something special or want a once-in-a-lifetime perspective of the Rockies, this is it.
