Detailed itinerary

Fly with us to the Stockhorn mountain and see the turquoise blue Lake Thun from above. The rivers and streams that flow into Lake Thun bring cold glacial water with them. This discoloration of the lake results in a beautiful play of colors and can be seen very well from the helicopter.

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.

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.

Stop 4 Pass by

Thun Castle is centrally located in the city and is surrounded by the Aare River. This bow protrudes above everything and is easily visible from afar. From the cockpit you have a very good view of the historic old town of Thun.

The flight to or from Lake Thun leads along the Emmental. From above, you can see the village of Langnau with its ice hockey stadium from far away. The world famous Emmental cheese comes from this valley. The lush green meadows over which we will fly are the basis for the fact that the local cows give such good milk. And so excellent cheese can be made from it.

When taking off and landing at Bern-Belp airport, you fly past Belp Berg. Many farmers have their cows on top of it and grow grain. Especially to see this landscape from the helicopter.

At a short distance from Bern-Belp airport you can see the Swiss capital. From a distance you can see the Federal Parliament building and the church in the middle of the old town. A flight over this historic city is a must for everyone who loves Switzerland.

At the foot of the Niesen mountain is the town of Wimmis where a beautiful castle stands. During this helicopter flight you will fly over the historic castle and have a good view of the towers of this castle.
