Air Zermatt – A must do helicopter experience!

Short summary – read this first

A couple shared their incredible experience of a helicopter ride with 'Air Zermatt' around the Matterhorn. They recommend it for breathtaking views of glaciers and peaks, emphasizing it's worth the cost if you're looking for unique sightseeing. They also mentioned the need for a group of four, which can be an important detail for planning.

Key takeaways:
  • The helicopter ride costs about CHF 220 per person, and you can find more details on the specified website.
  • It's best to travel with a group of four to book the helicopter trip, as the company may add others if your party is smaller.
  • Taking an infant of 17 months is not recommended and may not be permitted due to safety and practicality concerns.

    My wife & I had the experience of a life time, for those who want to spend a little more {but then can save on other expensive sightseeing}.

    “Air Zermatt” just a 20 minute helicopter ride around & to the top of the Matterhorn & surrounding area. See the glaciers & other peaks, the little mid-station house on the Matterhorn ridge! See the Klein Matterhorn & Gornergrat from the air…Breathless!
    Exciting, never can you see, or experience the Alps like this.. Bring your camera or video the whole ride..worth every dollar. Will need a party of 4, or they will add to yours.

    Hi, How much is the cost and from where I can get all the relevant details. Is it advisable with an infant of 17 months old? Thanks, Mohit

    That’s the best site to look at for all the information that Arno advised. Yes can take a party of 4. An infant of 17 months is not advised and may not be allowed. Also a waste of CHFs. It seem like more than 20 minutes after the trip is over.
