Helicopter flight to the Chasseral and Lake Biel

Enjoy the wonderful view of the Jura chain with the two most famous Jura peaks - Weissenstein and Chasseral. The sightseeing flight takes you past Lake Biel, one of the three large lakes on the edge of the Jura.

Single seat flight or exclusive sightseeing flight

It is possible to reserve individual seats on selected sightseeing flights. You fly in a group put together by us. The type of helicopter will be allocated depending on the number of passengers and the flight route. The flights take place on Saturdays from Grenchen and on Sundays from Belp. The basic requirement for individual seat flights is, in addition to ideal flying weather, that all the seats in the helicopter are occupied.

If you book a helicopter exclusively for yourself, you determine the date, time and route of the helicopter flight. You can choose between one of our standard offers or an individually arranged sightseeing flight - there are virtually no limits to your wishes. We fly for you 365 days a year.

Helicopter

ROBINSON R44 Raven II

Like the smaller R22, it is powered by a Lycoming piston engine and offers comfortable seating for four people, with each of the three passengers having a window seat. For flights with just a few passengers, such as wedding flights, it is the ideal solution at an unrivaled price. At Mountainflyers, the helicopter is mainly used for sightseeing flights of all kinds and for pilot training. For many new private pilots, it is the first "big" helicopter and allows them to carry passengers on charter flights and share the fascination of flying with friends and family.

Frequently asked questions

How does a helicopter actually work?

The helicopter is a complex aircraft. The lift force that allows the helicopter to rise into the air is generated by the horizontally rotating rotor blades, which are moved by an engine. The helicopter uses the rotor to generate lift that makes it fly upwards.

How does check-in work?

After you have paid or handed in your voucher at our office, your pilot will meet you. He will accompany you to the helicopter. You are welcome to take photos. You may also bring accompanying persons with you to photograph or film you in front of the helicopter and during take-off. Please follow the instructions of the staff, as you will be within the airport security zone during this time. Smoking in the hangar and the outdoor area with terrace is strictly prohibited.

Your pilot will inform you about the most important rules of conduct around the helicopter and about the functions of the doors, seat belts and headsets. You will then take your seat in the helicopter so that the flight can begin.

Do children on helicopter flights cost the same as adults?

Children up to their second birthday may fly on the lap of an adult and are therefore free of charge. By law, children from the age of 2 need their own seat and cost the same as adults.
