Forest Wildfires are a common threat to Canadian people and their assets. We are an active contractor to the British Columbia Forestry service and pride ourselves on being 'ready for anything' with our rigorous pilot training program. Summertime is big for mountain biking in the Koots. We offer three different heli biking runs at affordable prices.

Our AStar helicopters are equipped with the latest Dart bike racks, allowing up to 6 bikes to be transported safely. Surrounded by mountains, Nelson BC boasts a lot! With the changing world right now, we can organise your wedding of a lifetime while staying in your bubble. Small, special and affordable.
Services
High Terrain Helicopters was founded in 1992. The company originally operated a Hiller 12E. Over the past 30 years High Terrain has grown to 5 aircraft and serving customers across British Columbia and Alberta. Our helicopters are a familiar sight in the Kootenays. Meet the man behind the scenes and HTH owner, Steve Benwell.
We're excited about where we live and we're stoked to show you too. Take a tour to Kokanee Glacier or grab that much needed date getaway with your special one. Let us take you to the lake for a picnic at 7000' in the Valhalla mountains! Social distance the fun way! Tax not included. All tours are operated out of our Hangar, located 2KM West of Nelson, towards Castlegar on Highway 3A.
Nestled deep in the Kootenays you'll hear the sound of thumping helicopter blades and ticking free hubs. Nelson BC is our home and mountain biking is in our DNA. Let High Terrain Helicopters pick you up from the beach and drop you at 7,000 ft for the best ride of your life! No excuses, book now and get lit!
Love is in the air! High Terrain has tailored wedding packages for your special day. We'll fly you and your family to a special place in the mountains to say your vows. With larger weddings now cancelled due to the pandemic, High Terrain can take your small group at an affordable price. We can also put you in touch with photographers and marriage officiants.
Being based in Nelson, Kaslo and Nakusp we work closely with boutique heli-ski operators in South East BC. Our flight crew have many winters under their belts and are ready to take your guests to new heights. With the challenging terrain in the area we operate exclusively our AS350 SD2s for this work as well as our Bell 205.

Thank you High Terrain for assisting us in restoring service once again! Ray is a top notch pilot, he could not have placed the pallet in a better location. We had service restored in under 8 hours, with the remoteness of the site this would not be possible otherwise. Highly recommended, you will not find better operators in the Kootenays!
