Best Season & Time of Day for Helicopter Flights from Bern-Belp
Many international guests visit Switzerland during summer. For Alpine flights in this season, we recommend departures in the morning, as thunderstorms tend to form over the mountains in the afternoon. Morning air is generally calmer, with clearer views of peaks and glaciers.

In winter, afternoon flights are often ideal. After clear nights, fog frequently settles over the lowlands in the morning and gradually dissipates during the day. A later departure ensures optimal visibility without waiting times.

Thanks to careful planning and years of experience, our pilots identify the best time window in every season – ensuring your helicopter flight over the Alps becomes a truly unforgettable experience.
