Gyrocopter sightseeing flight Switzerland
The gyrocopter is a really special aircraft that you don't see in the Swiss skies very often. It combines the flight characteristics of an airplane and a helicopter, creating a truly unique flying sensation. You can experience this exclusive gyrocopter sightseeing flight in Switzerland up close.
Experience the landscape around Grenchen from above with an incredible feeling of flight. You can choose between the enclosed cockpit, which offers a bit more comfort, or the open 'cabriolet' cockpit. With the open cockpit, you'll feel the wind on your face and experience flying even more intensely. If you want to do more than just enjoy the ride and actually fly the gyrocopter yourself, you can book the taster flight. Your flight instructor will show you the key controls, and you'll take the stick!
CHF 279.-
per person
In contrast to a helicopter, the rotor of a gyrocopter is only driven by the airstream, while the thrust is provided by a pressurized propeller at the rear. It takes off almost from a standing start and can also be flown very slowly in the air. In addition, visibility through the large glass dome is extremely good. In summer, you can even experience the gyrocopter sightseeing flight without the dome like in a convertible, making the sightseeing flight even more of an experience.

Everything was tip top. Hans also explained everything very well, including the technical details and landscape in an interesting way. I would be happy to return.

Dear team from Flight Base
The experience with the gyrocopter was unique and the pilot (Mr. Marthaler) was great.
Unfortunately:
I had booked a trial flight, but "only" a sightseeing flight was made. It was a bit of a shame that I couldn't/wasn't allowed to do it myself. However, I must also say that I didn't explicitly mention before the flight that the booking was a trial flight.
lg, Marco
