Well for example the opinion that it is possible to

reach say the south pole. I don't think many people would deny the
possibility but since we don't have a source for that it is not
possible to write a NPOV article on the subject.
Let me just get this straight.
There is a small ski area in some mountains not terribly far from a
helipad by the side of a road. The ski area sells ski packages that
include helicopter transport to and from the ski area. There are no
roads directly there, but one can safely presume that it's possible to
hike to the area - as you point out, you can pretty much hike anywhere
if you want to badly enough.
And you think that saying "accessible only by helicopter" is a
non-neutral opinion.
Presumably you would also argue that saying "accessible only by
helicopter or extremely dedicated hiking" was POV, on the grounds that
you also could get there by parachute, magic carpet, riding a dirt
bike in summer and waiting until winter, tunnelling from Iceland...
