Snow angels on the mountain

Published on Oct, 2024

Amazing experience, highly recommended. It's so good to land on the snow and take in the views. We had 6 people plus the pilot in our helicopter

Snow Glow!

Published on Sep, 2024

Fantastic experience, especially for us West Aussies who never experience snow. Loved the snow landing and the smooth flight. Thanks Gus.

Must do adventure

Published on Apr, 2024

Amazing trip! Fortunate to strike a clear day and score a front seat for what was my first helicopter flight. The view of the glacier and skimming over the mountain tops then the snow landing were all so memorable. Pilot & staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend,

Amazing and Stunning!!!

Amazing! Stunning! Loved every second of this trip, the feeling of flying over the mountains set the good vibes off. Highly recommend, Poppy and staff very welcoming.

Great and recommendable

Published on Jan, 2024

The tour was real great. We could feel the "family"-spirit of the whole team. We got a very good preflight instruction not to take too much "material" with us as the später in the machine is quiet small. All in all: very recommendable!
