Marvel Pass Tour

$ 762.50 per person - 55 minutes

Located along the border of Banff National Park, Marvel Pass has long been a favourite spot for special events and private moments. The Marvel Pass Tour is our sole tour experience that offers a landing and is highly desirable for unique occasions. The aircraft will touch down at close to 7,200 feet where you will be surrounded by larch trees, turquoise lakes and towering peaks. This spectacular location offers breathtaking vistas which can be the perfect backdrop for marriage proposals, photoshoots or intimate moments of your choosing. You will spend 20 minutes at this private location before reboarding for your return flight back to Canmore.

If booking this tour in the winter, please come suitably dressed as you will be landing in deep snow at high elevation.

This is a private tour for two people. However, if you would like guests to join you, additional seats are available at $410 per person.

Disclaimer: Our Canmore base will be closed for November due to renovations. During this time, we will continue to operate sightseeing tours from our Kananaskis base. Thank you for your understanding.

We’re excited to announce our Green Initiative program, dedicated to minimizing our environmental footprint and contributing to a sustainable future. Beginning January 1, 2024, guests will have the opportunity to make a $2.00 donation (per person) at the checkout page when completing an online booking. This donation will plant one tree in collaboration with One Tree Planted, and the remaining funds will be invested in Gold Standard-certified carbon offsets with PlanetAir. Your participation is key to creating a greener future. Explore more about our Green Initiative by following the link.

At Alpine Helicopters, we strive to accommodate all guests to the best of our ability. However, it’s important to note that helicopter tours have certain limitations regarding accessibility due to the nature of the aircraft and operational constraints. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Mobility Restrictions: Our helicopters require passengers to climb in and out of the aircraft with assistance from our ground crew. Due to space constraints and safety regulations, individuals with mobility impairments may find it challenging to board and disembark from the helicopter. Our ground crew will assist to the best of their ability to accommodate mobility restrictions
  • Seating Arrangements: Our helicopters have limited space, and seating is allocated based on weight distribution for safety reasons. While we will do our best to accommodate specific seating requests, we prioritize safety and weight distribution in our seating arrangements.
  • Wheelchair Accessibility: Unfortunately, our helicopters are not equipped to accommodate wheelchairs or mobility devices. Passengers must be able to transfer from their wheelchair to the helicopter seat with assistance from our ground crew.
  • Service Animals: Service animals are not permitted in the helicopter but are welcome on the base and building.
  • Safety Considerations: For safety reasons, passengers must be able to understand and follow safety instructions provided by our crew before and during the flight. This includes wearing appropriate safety restraints and following emergency procedures if necessary.

We understand that every individual’s accessibility needs may vary, and we encourage you to contact us directly to discuss any specific requirements or concerns you may have. Our team will do our utmost to accommodate your needs and ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience with Alpine Helicopters.
