Kamtchatka stretches over more than 1200 km from North to South…We will concentrate on the most southern part which is both more wild and varied.The hotel is in the valley of Paratunka, less than an hour’s drive from Petropavlosk.To ski, we will take off directly from the latter. The length of the flight to the skiing drop zones is therefore reduced and allows us to optimise helicopter flying time.A maximum of laps for a minimum of flying time.
