Vol panoramique privé autour du Mont-Blanc

Panoramic aeroplane flight

This is the other way of flying over Mont Blanc, and many of our clients do not know it exists. You leave from the same altiport, but in a small propeller aircraft, and the flight bears no resemblance. The aeroplane is steadier, quieter in the cabin, and holds one long even curve around the massif where a helicopter works in back-and-forth passes. Put plainly: the aeroplane gives a wide, continuous view, the helicopter lets you come close to one face and stay on it. We will tell you which to choose according to what you are after, and we have no interest in pushing you towards either. Our own preference, if asked: the aeroplane for a first overflight, when you want to understand the geography of the massif. The helicopter when you want the sensation. The front seats are the best ones, and they are worth booking.

Duration

Twenty to forty-five minutes aloft, depending on the circuit

When to go

All year, subject to the day's visibility and flying conditions

Pricing

From €150 per person

Mind the comparison: here the rate is per person, whereas the helicopter is paid per aircraft. For two, the aeroplane is three times cheaper. At six the gap all but closes (€900 against €1,000) and the helicopter becomes the better buy. We do that arithmetic with you rather than let you choose blind. The cabin is small: beyond three passengers it takes two rotations.
