The Experience
Your experience starts at the quiet airfield in Buttwil, where you will meet your pilot and complete a brief check-in process. This is completely no-fuss, giving you time to look over the planned flight path and see how the route cuts across the high peaks. Once the pre-flight checks are sorted, you will step out onto the tarmac and climb inside the light aircraft. After a quick rundown of the interior controls, the engine turns over and the plane taxis out to the runway for takeoff. You will feel the aircraft lift away from the green countryside, climbing steadily as you leave the lower valleys behind.As the plane reaches cruising altitude, the landscape changes completely. You will watch the rolling hills flatten out as you head deep into the mountains, passing the massive ice fields of the Aletsch Glacier. The flight path brings you right up to the distinct, pyramid-shaped peak of the Matterhorn, allowing you to see the jagged rock formations and steep ridges up close from your window. Because you are traveling in a small plane, you get a clear sense of the sheer scale of the mountains without any of the ground-level noise or crowds.Your pilot handles the navigation and points out the key landmarks as you loop around the peak, before turning the aircraft back north towards the airfield for a smooth landing.
