Where to take a helicopter ride in Savoie?

You will never cease to be in awe, whether you are flying over the traditional Savoyard villages, such as Bonneval-sur-Arc or Courchevel, or the Alps and their immense ski resorts.

- There are a variety of alternatives and formulas available when booking a helicopter flight. Snow and nature enthusiasts can choose a flight that will take them to the department's mountain massifs and ski resorts. Along with Les Arcs, a ski resort, and Méribel-les-Allues, an iconic resort, you may explore Val Thorens, a village with a sizable and pleasant region devoted to winter sports. You can even fly over the famous and majestic Mont-Blanc massif if your helicopter journey is long enough.

- Flying above the gorgeous Savoy lakes is another option. One thing unites them all: turquoise water! The colour and clarity of the water in the Lac du Bourget, the Lac d'Aiguebelette, and the Lac de Tignes will all captivate you. You'll feel liberated and completely at peace while flying over such expansive vistas.

How long does the experience last?

Tours might take anything from one hour to several hours, depending on your budget, where you start, and the route you take. The duration of a trip might range from 15 to more than an hour.

It typically takes 20 minutes to fly from Les Arcs to the Mont Blanc Mountain and its surrounds. For additional details, visit this offer on our site. On the other hand, it will take you an average of 50 minutes to explore Les Saisies and fly over a portion of Haute-Savoie, the neighbouring department.

Can you take your loved ones on a tour together?

The short answer is YES. It's also one of the most profoundly transformative experiences you can have with loved ones. The flight's moments will live eternally in your memory. You will have to choose deals where the helicopters aren't two-seaters, though. There are offers where you can book helicopters with a capacity of up to 6 people. These packages are the most suitable for your needs if you are planning a group excursion.

When is the best time to take one of these excursions?

Helicopter flights are dependent on the weather, just as all airborne sports and activities. Therefore, if the weather is harsh or prevents altitude gain, it is possible that a flight may be delayed for safety reasons. Even in the winter, skilled Savoie pilots are accustomed to flying over the vast, rocky massifs of the department. If the flight is not cancelled due to bad weather, you may be confident that your trip will happen under the best circumstances.

This department is a French gem with a staggering variety of landscapes and picture-perfect vistas that is only a short distance from Italy. Don't hesitate to take a good look at the various offers available and all the flight tours we offer! Be the subject of everyone's envy, and don't miss out on a helicopter ride on your vacation!
