Your scenic flights in Valais in detail

In the two-seater Aero L-39 Albatros military jet, you'll fly from Sion through the narrow valleys of the Valais Alps, past the Matterhorn, Dufourspitze, Weisshorn, and Aletsch Glacier. Reaching speeds of up to 950 km/h and performing aerobatic maneuvers such as loops, Immelmann turns, and split-S maneuvers, you'll experience a Top Gun-style flight where you can even take the controls yourself. Flights are available in 30- or 45-minute durations.

For those who prefer a more relaxed yet still active experience, a helicopter taster flight in the Robinson R44 Raven II from Sion is the perfect choice. The helicopter is fully dual-control: after a brief introduction, you'll take over the controls and pedals, flying turns, climbs, and descents, while your instructor can assist at any time. No prior experience is necessary – the flight is available in 30, 45, or 60-minute durations and is also suitable as a first step towards obtaining a helicopter pilot's license.
