A really beautiful flight to the Rhine Falls in great weather. The pilot was very friendly.

Eckhard

Perfect communication during booking and preparation (schedules, directions, etc.)
Absolutely friendly staff at Valair.
A very competent and trustworthy pilot with a wealth of experience and a knack for sharing knowledge.
Dream weather—though neither Flightbase nor Valair, as the flight operator, could have done anything about it.
Very good starting location in Balzers.
The aperitif was OK, though one might expect a bit higher quality from the sparkling drink given the price.

Our special thanks go once again to the pilot.

Frequently Asked Questions About Helicopter Flights

Children can also fly with you. However, it is important that the children really want to do the flight, otherwise the flight could be a test of patience for everyone. We recommend a child seat for small children. A helicopter flight is not recommended for babies.

A helicopter flight can generally be scheduled on any day. Depending on the flight offer, a minimum number of passengers is required, which can be seen in the offer description. If you would like to fly alone or with fewer passengers, we will organize additional guests for your desired date. The weather must also play along. The weather decision will be communicated to you directly by the pilot the day before.

As you look into the distance and have good visual references in the helicopter itself, there is generally no feeling of vertigo.

Helicopter flights only take place when the weather is favorable for flying (no rain, good visibility, not too much wind). If the weather does not cooperate, we will postpone your helicopter flight to another date of your choice.

Unfortunately, this is not possible on a normal sightseeing flight. However, we also offer helicopter taster flights. Here you can fly the helicopter yourself, of course under the guidance of an experienced flight instructor. Here you can find the helicopter trial flight.

Yes! A helicopter flight gift certificate is the perfect gift. Every gift certificate is valid for a full 10 years, includes a 12-month price guarantee, and can be redeemed flexibly at our locations throughout Switzerland as well as for any other Flightbase experience. You’ll receive the gift certificate immediately via email to print out, and, if you prefer, by mail with free shipping.

We do not have any fixed registration deadlines. However, the earlier you register, the greater the chance of a free place. Ideally, you should register approx. 1-2 weeks before the desired date. However, we can usually organize something at short notice.
