Located in the heart of the Bernese Oberland, the Alpine Flight Tour by FunFlights offers a rare vantage point on one of Europe’s most dramatic mountain ranges. Taking off from Bern-Belp Airport in Switzerland, this 42-minute helicopter journey delivers an up-close view of the iconic Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks—all towering giants that define the Alpine skyline. From the air, the notorious Eiger North Face looms with its steep, rugged walls, while the snowy crown of Jungfraujoch shines like a glacier-polished jewel. This trip captures the symbiosis of soaring alpine geology with the cultural heritage of the region, accompanied by engaging commentary that unpacks the historical and natural significance of the mountainous terrain below.
FunFlights distinguishes itself by blending high-adrenaline flight with informative storytelling, making the tour both breathtaking and enlightening. Beyond the spectacular mountain trio, the helicopter sweeps over charming spots such as Interlaken and the Schilthorn, the latter famous for its panoramic views and revolving restaurant. The route presents a rare aerial glimpse into the complex geology of the Bernese Alps, from limestone cliffs to glacial valleys, providing a deeper appreciation for this Swiss outdoor haven.
This flight is among the few ways to witness the vast scale of these peaks and to understand their place in Alpine mountaineering history, especially given the Jungfraujoch’s role as a historical scientific outpost and tourist magnet. Ending the experience with souvenir photographs means you take home tangible memories of this unique perspective.
FunFlights operates with a strong commitment to guest safety and immersive-quality experiences, making it a standout for those seeking an elevated adventure in Switzerland’s outdoor playground.
