Neuschwanstein castle by helicopter

Ludwig II's castle between the Forggensee and the Pöllat gorge — the flight nobody sells short.

Ludwig II's castle appears at the foot of the Ammergau Alps, between the Forggensee and the Pöllat gorge. A quirk of the market: no operator sells a short flight from Füssen — the nearest priced departure is Kempten, forty-five minutes' flying away. A rare option with a landing near Schwangau and a shuttle to the castle does exist, on request only.

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.
