Can you take your loved ones on a helicopter excursion 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 go on one of these helicopter 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.
