Magnifique expérience à équilibrer entre passagers

Expérience chouette, très beau survol, mais expérience inégale pour plusieurs personnes ayant payé la même prestation: principalement parce que les places dans l'hélico ne sont pas du tout égales en terme de vue (la personne qui est devant a une incroyable vue plongeante sur tout ce qui l'entoure et sans rien pour obstruer la vue, alors que la personne qui est au milieu derrière est entourée de personnes et d'objets qui la séparent des vitres et donc forcément ont un impact sur l'expérience visuelle et la prise de photos). A minima, j'aurais attendu que les personnes changent de place entre l'aller et le retour de l'hélico pour équilibrer.

One of the highlights of our trip!

A wonderful experience with a very knowledgeable pilot! It was an exciting trip and being able to land and walk on the snow was extraordinary. The staff was lovely to deal with, thank you!
