About helicopter tours

Why fly in Switzerland

Switzerland is the heart of European alpine flying. From bases in Sion, Lauterbrunnen, Zermatt and the Bernese Oberland, scenic flights circle Mont Blanc (4,808 m), the Matterhorn (4,478 m) and the Eiger's North Face — with optional snow landings on glaciers including the Aletsch (the longest in the Alps), the Mer de Glace and the Gornergrat. In summer, helicopters carry climbers to high mountain refuges; in winter they reposition skiers between the Three Valleys, Zermatt, Verbier and Courchevel. Many tours combine a 30-minute scenic flight with a champagne stop at a mountain restaurant or a Michelin-starred lunch in the Jungfrau region. Swiss pilots are world leaders in mountain flying, and the country's helicopter operators maintain one of the most rigorous safety cultures in European aviation.
