Helicopter flight to Chasseral and Lake Biel for 3 people

A helicopter is a complex aircraft. The lift that allows the helicopter to rise into the air is generated by the horizontally rotating rotor blades, which are driven by an engine. The rotor creates a force that causes the helicopter to float upward.

We recommend booking one to two weeks in advance. Of course, you can also make a reservation on short notice. If you book with less notice, there’s a chance our helicopters may already be booked. We’re especially busy on weekends.

After landing, the pilot shuts down the helicopter's piston engine or turbine and allows the rotor to come to a stop. Please remain in the helicopter with your seatbelt fastened until the pilot exits and opens the doors for you or instructs you to open the doors yourself. Your pilot will then accompany you back to our office.

Yes, every type of helicopter has a maximum takeoff weight that must not be exceeded. Factors such as the number of passengers, fuel load, air temperature, engine power, and flight time, among others, must be taken into account. The pilot is legally required to prepare a “load manifest” before the flight. This document includes, among other things, the individual weights of all passengers. When booking a helicopter flight, we therefore ask for the passengers’ weights and reserve the right to recommend a larger, more powerful helicopter if the maximum takeoff weight is exceeded. Please feel free to contact us directly for calculations regarding specific configurations.

For the Robinson R22 (used only for introductory flights and training), the limit is 95 kg per person.

For the Robinson R44, the average passenger weight is 95 kg per person, and for the Bell 505, it is 85 kg per person.

During the sightseeing flight, you can talk to the pilot through your headset. Be sure to keep your microphone close to your mouth. On exclusive sightseeing flights, the route can be customized to your preferences, provided it fits within the time frame. Of course, you’re welcome to take photos during the flight.

Unlike an airplane, a helicopter can land almost anywhere. Many sightseeing flights include a stopover in the mountains or at a restaurant. For exclusive sightseeing flights lasting 45 minutes or longer, a stopover is generally possible.
