Alpine Helicopters Inc.

Alpine Helicopters is a Canadian helicopter operator based in Kelowna, British Columbia. It was founded in Calgary in 1961 and moved to Kelowna in 1968, according to a 2026 profile in Vertical magazine.

The company runs seven bases across two provinces: Kelowna and Golden in British Columbia, and Canmore, Calgary, Grimshaw/Peace River, High Level and Kananaskis in Alberta. Its website highlights sightseeing tours from Canmore and Kananaskis in the Canadian Rockies.

Passenger charter is offered on Bell helicopters with private cabins seating from 6 to 14 passengers. The fleet described by Vertical includes Bell 212HP, Bell 206L3, Bell 407, Airbus AS350 B3e/H125 and Bell 412EP types, with roughly 15 Bell 212s and 14 Bell 407s and AS350s.

Much of the company's work is commercial. Alpine has supported heli-skiing operator Canadian Mountain Holidays since 1981 and acquired CMH and its lodges in 1996; it now supports CMH's lodges in winter. In summer most of its Bell 212s fly wildfire suppression contracts, and the company also carries out mountain rescue in Banff, power line work, construction lifts, aerial filming and backcountry lodge support.

For private flyers, the operator suits helicopter transfers and sightseeing in the Rockies and interior British Columbia rather than long-distance travel.
