Alpine Helicopters

Alpine Helicopters is a helicopter company based at Chemin Lambien 10 in Sion, the airport town of the Swiss canton of Valais. The company presents itself as a Valais helicopter operator, and the Verbier tourist office lists it under the same address.

For passengers, it offers sightseeing and panoramic flights over the Alps, aperitif flights, heliskiing and VIP transfers between Sion and mountain resorts. These transfers make it relevant for private flyers landing at Sion who need to reach ski resorts such as Verbier.

Beyond passenger work, the company carries out external load and aerial work, aerial photography and filming, and helicopter maintenance through a continuing airworthiness (CAMO) function. It also runs pilot training.

The website refers to its own modern helicopters but does not list types or numbers, and it gives no founding year. The Verbier listing mentions that the business draws on decades of crew experience, without giving dates.

Several other helicopter firms also work from Sion, so flyers comparing transfer options in Valais may want to request quotes from more than one. Alpine Helicopters does not advertise air rescue; that role in the area is handled by other organisations.
