The Best Helicopter Tours in The Alps

Ranked, reviewed and price-checked — 7 The Alps helicopter tours compared, starting from $1022.

Why fly over The Alps?

Helicopter tours in the Alps are unlike anything else in Europe. Flying from Sion, Chamonix, Courmayeur or Lauterbrunnen, scenic tours circle Mont Blanc (4,808 m), the Matterhorn (4,478 m) and the Eiger's North Face — with optional snow landings on glaciers such as the Mer de Glace, the Aletsch (the longest glacier in the Alps) or the Gornergrat. In summer, helicopters carry climbers to high refuges; in winter they reposition skiers between the Three Valleys, Zermatt and Verbier. Many tours combine a 30-minute flight with a champagne stop at a mountain restaurant or a Michelin-starred lunch at a Jungfrau-region hotel — making the Alps the most luxurious flight-and-dine destination on the planet.
