Itinerary

  1. 1

    Old City

    Passing by

    On this helicopter tour you can see the old town of Bern very well from above. Thereby, one gets aware of how many small alleyways the Swiss capital has. Around the centre of the city, the river Aare flows and forms a horseshoe shape. This is spectacular to watch from above and unique to see from the air.

  2. 2

    Parliament Building

    Passing by

    The Swiss House of Parliament can be seen from far away with the large dome on top. From the viewpoint where the helicopter flies, you have a very good overview that this parliament building is the centre of the old town and rises above the Aare river. The beauty of this house is shown to its best advantage from above.

  3. 3

    Berner Munster

    Passing by

    The top of the steeple juts out over the old town of Bern and can be seen very well on the helicopter flight. The lower longer part of the cathedral is imposing in size compared to all other buildings in the federal capital. The idyllic park in front of the cathedral with the trees and the high wall in front of it is unique.

  4. 4

    Stadion Wankdorf

    Passing by

    The Swiss National Football Stadium is located in the east of the city. You can see the big but from far away, because it has many solar collectors on it. From the helicopter cockpit you can not only see the grass from the pitch, but also read the Big YB logo on the stands. The overflight is unique and a lot of fun.

  5. 5

    Zentrum Paul Klee

    Passing by

    The Paul Klee Centrum is not only very spectacular inside, but also from the outside. So it is exciting to see the building's architecture from a bird's eye view. In the helicopter you can see the wave form of the building from far.

  6. 6

    Shopping und Erlebniscenter Westside

    Passing by

    The Westside Shopping Center is a spectacular building built by various architects. From the helicopter you can see the many angles and irregular sizes very well. The water park and the attached hotel are part of the construction and can be seen from above.

  7. 7

    Gurten – Park im Grunen

    Passing by

    On the helicopter sightseeing flight you fly past Bern's local mountain. You have a very good view of the park in the green with all trees and fields. Additionally, from this angle, one sees the whole oldtown of the Swiss capital. A spectacular view over the Bernese Mittelland and Oberland is obtained during the overflight.

    An amazing experience in a helicopter.

    An amazing experience in a helicopter. This is one of my best recollections of my trip to Bern. The private flight offered stunning views of the city, historical buildings, and surrounding countryside. It was a lot of fun to see Gurten Peak and the Aare River from above. This is the kind of experience I want to have repeatedly.

    The unique Overview of Bern.

    The unique Overview of Bern. Having taken an individual helicopter trip, I got the chance to see the beautiful Old Town, the Bern Minster, the Tower Clock, and the Aare River and, not to mention, the whole view of the city and the surrounding Alps were just incredible. I organized a helicopter travel with my wife and we were thrilled with the experience.
