Experience report: Glacier flight by helicopter – recommendation from the operations center

On June 15, 2025, Caroline Silder and Mägi Häfliger from the operations center of helikopterflug.ch had the opportunity to personally test a beautiful sightseeing flight from Schindellegi with a glacier landing in the Robinson R66 .

"Shortly after takeoff, it was clear: this was no ordinary flight," reports Caroline. The route led over central Switzerland to high alpine regions, where the landing on a lonely glacier was the emotional climax. "The absolute silence, the view over the snowfields, it was magical," adds Mägi.
