THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE.
Take a tandem paraglide flight over the Columbia River, or land on a remote mountain peak with a helicopter tour.
If you’ve never been in a helicopter, there’s no better place to experience unfettered flight. Cover miles in minutes and get an unequalled perspective. Hover comfortably over Wap Lake or the Revelstoke Dam, buzz over the Upper Arrow Lake Flats, swoop by waterfalls, rivers, and even tumbling glaciers. It’s a frickin’ helicopter, you can go anywhere! It’s time for that tandem paraglide flight you’ve always talked about. Starting from 2,200 metres above sea level, sail off Mount Mackenzie, the highest launch in North America. All pilots are certified by the Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association of Canada. Tandem flights are open to all ages, you don’t need any previous experience, and you can do it year round.
Experienced flyers can bring their own wings and launch off the top of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, reaping the thermal currents born from the river valley below. For safety, please be sure to brush up on the rules and local beta at Revelstokeparagliding.com.
