En route with the ambulance

Benjamin Hischier

Air Zermatt has been operating the ambulance service in the inner Mattertal since 1997. Every year, the paramedics carry out around 1000 ambulance missions. This is also the case for Benjamin Hischier, who has been part of the Air Zermatt team since 2022. "No two days are the same, every mission is unique," says paramedic Hischier. Nevertheless, he has to be prepared for all possible scenarios at all times. Being a paramedic means being a people person, says Hischier. "That's why I like to have missions that challenge me not only medically, but also on a human level."
