ON-SLOPE RESCUE

Since the beginning of December 2023, Savoie Hélicoptères has been providing piste rescue services in Hautes Alpes resorts such as Vars and Risoul.

​

 

One of our AS350 B3e Ecureuil helicopters is now equipped with a stretcher for transporting an injured person, as well as the pilot and flight assistant.

​

 

Unlike the SAMU, the airfield rescues we carry out are for victims of non-emergency accidents.

​

 

The helicopter is able to intervene in less than 15 minutes in most cases. On-slope rescue missions are varied: skiing accidents, snowboarding accidents, etc.

​

 

Savoie Hélicoptères attaches great importance to passenger and crew safety. That's why we have trained and experienced personnel, and a helicopter in perfect working order.
