Helicopter Tour · Interlaken
How to choose
Both flights depart from the Gsteigwiler heliport, run by Helikopterflug.ch, and fly over the Jungfraujoch massif. The real split comes down to one thing: do you stay in the air or do you land on a glacier? The scenic flight (286.9 CHF, 2h) gives you an aerial panorama of the Bernese Oberland without touching down. The glacier-landing option (407.79 CHF, 3h) adds a full hour and a 120.89 CHF premium for the privilege of stepping out onto the ice at altitude. Both are rated 5.0/5 across 8 reviews and welcome all fitness levels, so the choice is purely about how deep you want the sensation to go. If the goal is maximum exposure to the alpine environment, the glacier landing at 407.79 CHF is the clear pick.

Practical info
Equipment
Dress in warm, windproof layers: glacier altitude means cold temperatures even in summer. Both tours run 2h to 3h, so carry a compact bag with sunglasses, sunscreen (UV exposure is high at altitude) and a fully charged camera or phone.

Head to Heliport 3814 in Gsteigwiler, Switzerland, roughly 5 km east of Interlaken by car or taxi.
