FunFlights offers a standout aerial journey over the Bernese Seeland, a region in Switzerland defined by three sparkling lakes: Murten, Neuchâtel, and Biel. This helicopter tour lifts you above rolling green hills and the Jura Mountains, delivering unmatched panoramic views that blend nature and culture in a compact, accessible flight. The adventure begins at Bern-Belp Airport, where a professional pilot takes the controls for a smooth 44-minute air time, giving travelers an extraordinary vantage point rarely seen from the ground.

This region’s mix of limestone hills, valleys, and lakes provides a diverse geological backdrop shaped by ancient glaciers, offering both a scenic and scientific feast. Mid-flight, the helicopter touches down near Restaurant La Bragarde in Les Prés d'Orvin, adjacent to a charming alpine hut where visitors enjoy a meal influenced by traditional Swiss country fare. In good weather, diners can sit on the terrace soaking in views of the Alps’ foothills; otherwise, the cozy interior ensures the experience remains intimate and authentic.
