Feel the thrill of flying with our experienced pilots guiding you through this unforgettable journey while enjoying the stunning beauty of the mighty Swiss Alps from a unique perspective. This tour combines exhilarating aerial views with the serene beauty of a hike through the Swiss Alps, offering a complete adventure in the Stockhorn region. The English speaking driver-guide will ensure a seamless experience, picking you up from the hotel in Zurich. First, travel to the Stockhorn region and experience a scenic cable car ride to the Stockhorn Summit. The Stockhorn Mountain stands at 2,190 meters (7,190 feet) and overlooks the area of Lake Thun in the Bernese Oberland. The views from the top are fantastic, including the two small lakes (Hinterstockensee and Oberstockensee), Lake Thun, and the nearby mountains. There are several viewing platforms at the top for enjoying the panorama. After soaking in the scenery from the summit, descend towards the charming village of Erlenbach im Simmental. On the way down, stop at the Stockhorn Middle station, where there is a nice restaurant for enjoying local Swiss cuisine. Once in Erlenbach im Simmental, take some time to relax and take photos before heading to Spiez, a picturesque small town on Lake Thun. The Castle of Spiez is a highlight of the area, along with its associated castle garden. One has an impressive view of the lake and the surrounding region from the castle. You may also consider taking an optional scenic boat trip from Spiez to Thun to appreciate the lake's beauty and serenity. The culmination of the day will be a thrilling helicopter ride over the places you have visited. It is a unique chance to see all this beauty from a bird's-eye view. The driver-guide will take you to the helicopter station, where our friendly staff will welcome you at the appointed meeting point. Following a safety briefing, board the helicopter and take your seat, ready for an unforgettable journey. The following 26 minutes will pass quickly while enjoying a breathtaking flight near the Stockhorn mountain, along Lake Thun, and over the Spiez and Oberhofen castles. Spectacular views of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau mountains in the distance await. Alternatively, the helicopter can take you back via Justistal and Emmental. After a safe landing, you will receive a souvenir and can download photos of your flight. Overall, enjoy a comfortable transfer back to your hotel. During the return journey, if time permits and you're interested, we can optionally make a brief stop in Bern for you to explore the Swiss capital. Whether you're seeking adventure or simply want to indulge in unparalleled views, our Stockhorn Helicopter Tour promises a memorable experience above the Swiss Alps. Catch the moment for a flight!
