Your scenic flights from Reichenbach in detail

In the open-top Bücker Bü-133 Jungmann, built in 1939, you'll experience classic aviator thrills over the Kandertal valley, complete with leather cap and goggles. Choose from 30- or 60-minute flights past Lake Thun and Lake Spiez, the Niesen mountain, or the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks – either as a relaxing scenic flight or with aerobatic maneuvers such as loops and rolls. The Pilatus P-2, built in 1946, with its characteristic 12-cylinder inline engine, takes off directly from the former Swiss Air Force airfield on the Kander River and flies past the Aletsch Glacier and the Matterhorn in 45 minutes, also with optional aerobatic maneuvers.

The Pilatus P-3, which served the Swiss Air Force until 1994, can be booked as either a 30- or 60-minute flight: Even the shorter route leads over Niesen, Stockhorn and the Kandertal valley, while the longer one goes to the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau mountains and to Lake Thun and Lake Brienz.
