Enjoy the Views from Up Top

Sometimes looking down is the greatest way to take in Switzerland's beauty. And a helicopter is definitely the best place to do it. The breathtaking rides, which can last anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours, are offered by a number of outfitters that offer sightseeing flights over the snowcapped Alps

You can take a helicopter tour of the famous Matterhorn mountain from Zermatt, or you can fly over the spectacular glaciers of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau, where scenes for James Bond movies were made, by going to Lauterbrunnen. You can alternatively ride a cable car or funicular to the summit of Switzerland's most iconic mountains for a little less thrilling experience. You can enjoy the million-dollar view even if you don't ski. Simply ascend to the resort's restaurant to savor a hot meal or to take in the views of the Alpine peaks.
