Default HeliSki in Europe: where is cheaper or better?

I just remember how it happened in cheerful French comedy of 70-ties
"Les Bronzes font du skis", where skiers asked local dude to organize one
flight+drop from helicopter.
They skied down afterwards but got lost, because guide couldn't find the way
into the valley.


My old mate Thierry Lhermite was the ski instructor.


'Les Bronzés font du ski' is certainly a cult French film - must have
seen it about 10 times - absolutely hilarious. Not sure it was ever
translated in English though. Does anyone else apart from N think it's
good or is it me being French?
The off-piste bit was shot in Val d'Isere.


all of it was shot in val d'isere, before they tarted it up it looked
just like any other concrete French ski resort.

Was he? In real life? Interesting.
He can ski well, "godille" style and all.
I saw him in few recent movies. It's painful to see how some people age!


However, Christian Clavier ("Doctor") is still more charming character of
their group.

Of course it was. As well as into a dozen other languages of that time.
I saw it ages ago on VHS tape, dubbed in English.

Recently I've watched it on DVD.
French 2-disc set (special edition) has very neat and clean, complete English
dialogues (dubbed). Hillarious, indeed. I've enjoyed it a lot!

Well, in our time people probably would want more intense movie:
more action, more love scenes and hot sex, rougher (or dumber) jokes, more
slapstick moments, and of course - more skiing (or snowboarding; as it's main
preference of film-makers now, as well as all consumer good manufacturers -
to aim at teenagers mostly).
