An Overview of Our Helicopter Sightseeing Flights

Everything you need for an unforgettable day!

Experience the Swiss Alps from above: Air Zermatt takes you on a helicopter sightseeing flight around the Matterhorn, along the UNESCO-listed Aletsch Glacier or up to the Jungfraujoch. Flights depart from Zermatt and Raron, take 20 to 60 minutes and start at CHF 230 per person (groups of 4 or more – private charters available).

Sightseeing Flights from Zermatt

Zermatt is car-free. So it makes sense to travel by train; the final stop is Bahnhofplatz Zermatt. From there, it takes about 10–15 minutes to walk to the Zermatt Heliport, either along the road or via the hiking trails toward Täsch. If you’re arriving by car, you’ll need to park in Täsch and take the shuttle to Zermatt (final stop: Zermatt Bahnhofplatz). You also have the option of flying directly by helicopter. You can find all the information about our transfer flights here.

Sightseeing Flights from Raron

Located at the foot of the Bietsch Valley, the municipality of Raron is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Swiss Alps: Jungfrau-Aletsch.” To reach the Raron Heliport by public transportation, take the train to Visp Station and then the bus (Bodmereia stop). From there, it’s a 15-minute walk. By car, you can drive directly to the Raron Heliport.
