Flight with a glacier landing by helicopter

Landing at 3,000 metres on the Petersgrat or at the Jungfraujoch — legal in Switzerland, impossible in France.

Switzerland allows what France forbids: landing in the mountains. Forty approved sites, including the Petersgrat and the Jungfraujoch — the flight passes the Eiger and the Mönch, then the turbine is shut down on the glacier, silence included. Allow around thirty minutes of flying and a stop on the snow; drinks served at 3,000 metres are an option. Prices converted from Swiss francs, confirmed at quotation.

Frequently asked questions

Can the aircraft be chartered privately?
Yes. All our scenic flights can be privatised — the whole aircraft to yourself, whatever the number of passengers. It is also the only way to guarantee an exact departure time, since a shared flight depends on the aircraft filling up.
What happens if the weather is bad?
A flight never departs in degraded conditions: the decision rests with the pilot, usually the day before. The flight is then postponed, or refunded, according to the operator's own terms — we reproduce them word for word on each page, before any request.
Can children fly?
Yes, from the age of 2 on most aircraft, and on an adult's lap below that age depending on the operator. Each passenger's weight is requested at booking so the aircraft can be correctly balanced.
