whilst navigating the terrain on snowshoes or Nordic skis. It is possible to add a helicopter flight to this challenge.

The beacon will be put somewhere on the mountain. You will find some clues and directions on the map, and then the helicopter will lead you to the beacon if your analysis was the right one.
