A Private Helicopter Tour to a Glacier Landing

Private helicopter tour to a glacier

Lunch on a glacier.

A private helicopter tour from Zurich, landing on the ice.

A private helicopter flight out of Zurich, over the Bernese Oberland, landing on a glacier. The pilot lays champagne and fondue out on the ice. It takes part of a day, and the private driver to the pad and home again is included.

Duration
Part of a day. The shortest thing on this page.
Pickup
A helipad in Zurich, or the airport.
Group size
Your party and the pilot.
Season
Flown in every month, weather permitting.

You leave from a helipad in Zurich, or from the airport if that is easier on the morning. Within minutes the city is behind you and the country stops being flat.

The pilot takes you over central Switzerland and into the Bernese Oberland, close enough to the peaks that the scale finally makes sense. Then the machine sets down on a glacier, the rotors stop, and it is very quiet.

Champagne and fondue are laid out on the ice by the pilot. You have as long as you want. Then back to Zurich, in time for dinner.

It is the shortest day we arrange from Zurich, and the one people talk about longest.

A private tour throughout, arranged around your morning rather than a departure time. Weather decides the route on the day, which is why we hold alternatives. Your private driver to the pad and home again, included.

Written about this day

Glacier by helicopter

The same range seen from the ground is Jungfraujoch, which is the slow version of this hour. Everything else we fly or drive is on the private tours page. On the ground, the same valley floor is a full day with a private driver.
