Your biplane flights in detail

With the Antonov AN-2, you can experience the "tractor of the skies" from Birrfeld – a robust biplane with a powerful radial engine, originally developed in the Soviet Union in 1947. Four flight programs are available: the Rigi round trip (approx. 1 hour) around the "Queen of the Mountains," the Mythen round trip (approx. 1.5 hours) over the striking Mythen peaks and the Albis range, the Säntis round trip (approx. 1.5 hours) to the highest peak of the Alpstein region, and the romantic full moon flight (approx. 1.5 hours) at dusk. Weather permitting, you will have the opportunity to take the controls yourself for a while. The AN-2 can also be booked for private group flights for up to 12 people.

In the open-top Bücker Bü-133 Jungmann, built in 1935/1939, you'll experience classic aviator thrills in a historic military trainer, complete with leather cap and goggles. The biplane is available at several locations – from Grenchen over the Jura Mountains and Lake Biel, from Reichenbach over the Kandertal valley and Bernese Oberland, or near Zurich over the Zurich Oberland. Flights can be booked as a relaxing scenic flight or with aerobatic maneuvers such as loops and rolls.
