  • Preparation
    • What do I need to take with for the scenic flight?
      • Camera & sunglasses. If you are going on a scenic flight with glacier landing, please wear a warm jacket, gloves and appropriate shoes (ideally, waterproof boots). Depending on the weather conditions, you might have to navigate knee-deep snow on the glacier.

  • Age, weight & health
    • Can children come on a scenic flight?
      • Children can also fly with us. However, it is important that the children really want to do the flight, otherwise the flight could become a test of patience for everyone. For small children we recommend a child seat.

        We do not recommend that babies and children under 5 years old come on the scenic flights. The helicopter is not pressurised like commercial airplane flight cabins, therefore it might hurt their ears on the quick ascent and descent.

        Children pay the same amount as adults.

  • Timing & weather

  • Transportation
  • Glacier landing
    • How long will we stay on the glacier and can we go hiking there?
      • The glacier landing normally lasts about 10-15 minutes. This gives you plenty of time to take photos, play in the snow and enjoy the natural beauty of the glacier. However, it is not possible to go for a hike as part of the regular flights with glacier landings.

        All glacier landings depend on weather conditions.

    • Which glacier will we land on?
      • If you have booked a helicopter scenic flight, we will take you to the Petersgrat. This can change depending on weather conditions.
