Located high up in Minaret Station, is a trail built specifically for Souther Lakes Helibike guests. It’s an experience.
Alpine, rivers, bridges, boardwalks, huts, beech forest, rivers, lakes, and farmland, their trail has a bit of everything. You cruise past rock gateways, multiple waterfalls, the exclusive Minaret Lodge (where you can stay, if you’re in the mood for something a bit special) ultimately ending up at the lakefront where you can get picked up by boat or heli back out.
On our trip, we were treated to a stop off on the way, before continuing to get dropped at the top of the trail – the only way to get there. If you’re around over the shoulder season, they also offer a hybrid product where you can heli-ski and heli-bike in one day. That’s a good day in anyone’s books.
