Bernese Alps Helicopter Lunch with FunFlights | Air Activities | Sightseeing Tour

The Bernese Alps rise sharply against the Swiss skyline, their rugged peaks slicing the crisp alpine air near the city of Bern. This region, famed for its dramatic mountain profiles and crystal-clear lakes, is home to one of Switzerland’s most exclusive aerial adventures offered by FunFlights. The Boutique Restaurant – Lunch trip pairs breathtaking helicopter flight with gourmet dining, showcasing the Bernese Alps and Lake Lucerne from rare vantage points.

Departing from Bern-Belp Airport, guests board a helicopter helmed by a professional pilot experienced in alpine conditions. The flight skirts over pristine landscape mosaics—glimmering waters of Lakes Thun, Brienz, and Lucerne punctuate the verdant valleys and snow-capped peaks. After approximately 66 minutes of scenic flight, the helicopter lands directly at the Boutique Hotel Villa Honegg, a striking modern refuge perched on a ridge with sweeping views over Lake Lucerne.

Here, the adventure melds nature with cuisine: diners can enjoy a luxurious 14-course gourmet lunch while soaking in panoramic vistas from the elegant restaurant or the sun terrace when weather permits. This spot is not just a meal stop but an immersive taste of Swiss culture and natural splendor. Following lunch, the return helicopter journey treats guests to a close pass by Mount Pilatus, a towering massif with steep limestone cliffs and dramatic alpine ridges.

FunFlights has carved a unique niche in the local outdoor recreation scene by combining aviation, fine dining, and mountain exploration. This elegant blend appeals to food enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike, making it a standout experience in Central Switzerland. With limited access to remote alpine dining, this helicopter lunch demonstrates how elevated travel offers not only convenience but a deeper connection to one of Europe’s most iconic mountain landscapes.
