Detailed itinerary
1
Fly by the Stockhorn mountain and see the turquoise blue lake of Thun from above. The rivers and streams that flow into Lake Thun bring cold glacier water with them. This discoloration in the lake gives a beautiful play of colours and can be seen very well from a helicopter.
2
The helicopter tour to Lake Thun leads to the Bernese Oberland. Above the city of Thun you have the best view from the cockpit over the lake to the Bernese Alps. The three world-famous peaks - Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau - are the center of attention. There is no better way to see Switzerland from above than with a helicopter flight.
3
The Niesen mountain is the pyramid of Switzerland. This mountain has a unique shape and gives a triangular shadow of itself. A cog railway leads up to the top and there is a restaurant on the top, which can be seen very well from the helicopter as it flies past.
