    Went there for my fiance's birthday. It was a nice experience. Getting to fly around the mountains in the area offers some pretty impressive views. The ground crew and pilot were friendly & easy to deal with. The reason I can't give 5 star unfortunately is because of the price & duration of the flight. 600$ for 2 person & 25 mins of flying was not worth it in my book. I only recommend this to people who are really into flying & unique experiences. My fiance really enjoyed herself though as you'll see from the pictures lol.

    Having never been to the Rocky Mountains, or in a helicopter before, we are supremely grateful to the Alpine helicopters workers for making our experience mind blowing. Specifically a huge shout out to Steve who ensured our comfort throughout the flight while also being a wealth of knowledge. Despite it being a relatively smoky day, the entire experience was absolutely surreal. Highly highly recommend and definitely hope to be back.

    We called the day before and Steve was able to get us in his lunch time slot. It was such a smooth experience, from the ground crew to the flight. We did the continental divide, and the scenery was unreal, mountain peaks after peaks... and glaciers and lakes. It was very memorable.

    Booked this to surprise my wife for our anniversary! It was an incredible experience. We lucked out on the weather and our ride was so sunny, blue skies and very smooth! Regrettably, I forgot the pilot's name. But he was very knowledgeable and courteous to us. So who ever that was who piloted our flight on October 7th at 9am for a Continental Divide tour, thank you!

    We did the 55 minute tour. Absolutely beautiful. Pilot was super friendly and informative. Was a calm day so we could get close to the mountains. This tour made our entire vacation. I will do it again.

    A flight with Alpine Helicopters is the only way to see the mountains and glaciers, what an incredible experience! A very professional and extremely friendly operation. The ground crew and pilot were great and very helpful with a seating request for my wife. The flight was smooth, the pilot was very informative letting you know about the area you where flying over. Highly recommended!!

    It's really an amazing experience. It may be pricey, for only 20-30 mins, but it's worth it. You won't get any better views of the rocky mountains than on the helicopter. Alpine Helicopters Inc are pros and the entire process was very smooth. It was also nice that some promotion was going on when I went, so we got a decent discount 😆

    I am 51 and I have seen many things in my life. I can honestly say the flight to the Three Sisters Peak was the most amazing experience I have had. I was fortunate to sit up front and the entire experience was just surreal. It is the only way to truly experience the majesty of the Rockies. This is one of the things everyone should do at least once. The crew was friendly, professional, and our pilot Liam was top notch. Don’t even think about it. Do it. It’s worth every cent.

    Me and my wife had a beautiful experience flying in an helicopter over such a beautiful valley and so close to three sisters peaks. Everyone was so welcoming and so many happy faces from reception to captain to everyone just adds so much charm to the experience. The flight was smooth and we were given so many details while flying over the valley of each and every mountain peak like we never experienced before since we live in the valley ourselves.

    We did the half hour tour with these guys and it was great. Staff were very friendly and professional. The pilot was great and had made you feel very comfortable during the tour. Had lots of knowledge of the area as well. I would recommend them and would love to do another tour with them again.

    So cool to see the Continental Divide up close and personal. We were lucky enough to have pretty good views, even with a little cloud cover/lower ceiling (and maybe some smoke?). Almost no turbulence at all either. Would highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Kimberley K. 2 years ago on Google
    Phenomenal tour even in the winter. I hope one day I can come back in summer or fall. Our pilot, Lucas, was very knowledgeable and named many landmarks and mountains along the way. Staff were all very friendly as well as safety focused. I highly recommend this to anyone, tourist or even a local you've never experienced the mountains quite like this. They offer different tour lengths for different price points.

    It was an amazing experience. Sunny weather, great views. Very friendly and professional staff and pilot. Many thanks

    We did the 25min tour, although it was to cloudy to get out to see the glaciers. It was still by far the coolest experience of my life! And by far the best way to experience the mountains! I found the pilot and staff to be all very friendly, and made us feel safe! Thank you for this experience!

    Wow! That was an awesome ride!!! Corey was the best pilot during our flight. So smooth and informative. Beautiful glaciers. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks Alpine!!

    Had such an amazing time seeing Canmore and the mountains for a different point of view. All the staff were happy, helpful and made our day extra special! Would highly recommended this experiences!

    The choppers are very old and the views tends to get really repetitive and boring. We bought the "Continental divide tour" which was about 45 minutes and after just crossing the 20 minute mark, we started to get a bit bored. I think "Three Sisters Peaks Tour" would have been a lot better pick, it would save us some money and boredem. And I wish they would use modern helicopters, the cabin felt outdated and it almost felt like they were from the soviet era. We took a scenic helicopter ride in Australia's three sisters and their choppers were a lot modern than them.

👍👍 Didn’t expect this to be the most memorable part of our trip in Canada! Was thinking this will be a simple walk and some climbing but it was a 55m descent , involving squeezing through the tight spaces at some parts. It was challenging and fun, but not overly hard. The hardest part is probably the...
