Departs throughout the day for an exciting scenic flight over all three icefalls of the Franz Josef Glacier with The Helicopter Line. You are landed high up on the glacier between two icefalls, to undertake a two hour guided trip.

Your guide is 'free guiding', picking a route as you go and looking for the most spectacular ice formations to show you. Information about glacier processes is offered by the guide, but the panoramic views of the glacier and surrounding mountains are supreme.

The superb stepcutting skills of the guides ensures our trips get into the most spectacular terrain, in comfort and at ease.
