Private helicopter flying over Lake Como

— Aerial division

Northern Italy from 1,500 feet

Private helicopter charter from Milan with our certified partner operator: Lake Como in thirty minutes, the Engadin in thirty-five, Venice and Portofino as a single unhurried day.

A helicopter is not about speed. It is about arriving with the day still ahead of you — and seeing the lakes, the vineyards and the Alps in the one geometry the road never shows.

All flights are operated by a Milan-based certified operator with a single- and twin-engine turbine fleet. Prices below are indicative from-rates per aircraft, VAT excluded, including flight time and landing taxes. Final quotation is confirmed by the concierge for your date, route and passenger count.
