Helicopter sightseeing flight Säntis

Helicopter flight Appenzell Säntis

The Säntis is the highest and most impressive mountain in Eastern Switzerland, and it's the landmark of this beautiful Swiss region. Now you have the chance to see the Appenzell landscape, including the Säntis, from a bird's-eye view on a helicopter flight. The helicopter flight takes off from St. Gallen Altenrhein or Sitterdorf airfield and flies you towards Appenzell with Lake Constance behind you. Soon, the characteristic hills of the landscape grow larger until the Alpstein mountain range appears before you. You'll enjoy the beautiful rock formations near Appenzell, where the terrain steadily rises towards the Säntis. From here, you'll get an amazing view of the Säntis peak, a sight only a few people get to experience. On a clear day, you can even see into four different countries from here. After these incredible sights, your helicopter tour will take you back over Appenzell and the Rhine Valley to St. Gallen Altenrhein or Sitterdorf, where you can once again enjoy the panoramic view over Lake Constance. A top-notch helicopter flight!
