Alpine Heli Tours is nestled in the Animas Valley Basin of Durango, Colorado. Life in the Mountains comes with so many advantages, but occasionally, there are some disadvantages, one of those disadvantages are the fast-changing weather systems that move through the area on a daily basis. Durango is notorious for having a strong monsoon season that encompasses the area from late-June/early-July thru the end of September.

Weather typical of this season is afternoon rain and thunderstorms along with turbulence throughout the afternoon into the early part of the evening. As a result, our flights will primarily take place in the mornings and early parts of the day. In an effort to provide you with the best possible flight experience, our pilots will always be very diligent in observing and monitoring the weather patterns down to the hour, and if they suspect a potential for adverse conditions, they will contact you immediately with a recommended plan of action. During the booking process, you will receive information the day before your planned departure containing standard pre-flight information, as well as a brief overview of the forecasted conditions for your proposed flight time. We here at Alpine Heli Tours are excited to meet you all, and look forward to providing you with a true Mountain Adventure!
