Giving or experiencing a helicopter flight over the Swiss Alps is unforgettable. But many wonder: why does a helicopter flight cost so much? Discover the main factors that influence the price of these unique panoramic flights.

Operating Costs and Maintenance

Helicopters require regular maintenance and strict inspections to ensure safety. Fuel, spare parts, regulatory checks, and insurance represent a large part of the total cost.

Customized Experience and Flexibility

Each flight can be tailored: choice of peaks, flight duration, number of passengers. This flexibility adds value to the experience.

Panoramic Views and Unique Sensations

A helicopter flight allows you to see alpine landscapes otherwise impossible to reach: Glacier 3000, Dents du Midi, Lavaux, Vaud Alps, and Valais Alps offer spectacular views.

The price of a flight reflects the safety, quality, and unique experience you will enjoy. Whether for a gift voucher or a private flight, Heli3000 offers unforgettable moments.
