Best Time to Visit
The magic of Mont Blanc reveals itself differently across seasons, but summer (June through September) typically offers the most stable weather conditions for helicopter flights.

Early morning flights often benefit from calmer air conditions and clearer visibility. Spring and fall shoulder seasons can be ideal for photography enthusiasts, with unique lighting conditions and fewer tourists.
How to Get There

Whether you’re coming from Chamonix, Megève, or other nearby ski stations, the facility is well-connected by road networks. Most hotels in the region can arrange direct transfers to the heliport. For those driving themselves, the facility offers ample parking and clear signage from major approach routes.
Tips for Visiting
Pack smart – the temperature at altitude can be significantly cooler than ground level, so bring an extra layer even in summer. [The pilots, like Yves, are known for their expertise](https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g196692-d1230959-Reviews-Mont_Blanc_Helicopters-Annemasse_Haute_Savoie_Auvergne_Rhone_Alpes.html), so don’t hesitate to ask questions about the route or local geography. Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled flight for the safety briefing. Bring your camera, but make sure it has a strap – you’ll want both hands free during the flight. Consider booking early morning flights for the best visibility and most stable weather conditions. If you’re prone to motion sickness, take appropriate medication about an hour before your flight. Most importantly, remain flexible with your schedule – mountain weather can be unpredictable, and flight plans might need adjustment for safety reasons.
Remember to book in advance during peak seasons (especially Christmas and summer holidays) as flights can fill up quickly. Weather conditions can affect flight schedules, so it’s wise to plan your helicopter experience early in your stay to allow for potential rescheduling. Each flight offers a unique perspective of the Alps, making this an unforgettable addition to any French Alps itinerary.
