A scenic flight offers a viewpoint inaccessible from the slopes: the glaciers of Mont Blanc, the succession of peaks of the Vanoise, and the geometry of the resorts seen from above.
The most requested routes
The most requested routes follow the Mont Blanc range or fly over the Vanoise massif, between glaciers, high-altitude lakes and wooded slopes. Flight duration is adjusted to the chosen route, from fifteen minutes to an hour for the most complete circuit.
The best time to fly
These flights can be booked to complement a transfer or as a standalone experience, generally at the end of the day when the light skims the ridges and sculpts the relief. The winter season, with its snow-capped peaks, offers some of the most spectacular views of the year.
Organising your scenic flight
Duration and route are adjusted according to the day's weather; scenic flights are operated in an Airbus H125, for up to 5 passengers. Every flight remains subject to operator approval at the moment of take-off.

On the shortest flights, the view takes in the Mont Blanc massif on the horizon and the Vanoise peaks. A Vanoise-oriented circuit reveals high-altitude lakes and the glaciers of the Grande Casse, while a pass over the Three Valleys offers a sweeping view of Courchevel, Méribel and Val Thorens, linked by the ski area.
Occasions for booking a scenic flight
A milestone birthday, a marriage proposal, a gift for a mountain lover or simply the wish to see the Alps from a new angle: a scenic flight suits a solo outing as well as a moment shared as a couple or in a small group, and no special occasion is needed to book one.
With children on board
The headsets and the pilot's live commentary make the experience accessible to children, provided they are comfortable with the sensations of flight; our concierge can advise on the most suitable route depending on the age of the youngest passengers.
What you see from the cabin, season by season
In winter, the snow-capped peaks and groomed slopes stand out sharply from the rest of the landscape, offering a unique view of the lift network and the true extent of the ski area. In summer, greenery, mountain lakes and hiking trails take over, for a flight with a very different character from the same winter route.
