Scenic helicopter tours around LA to see all the best attractions by air. Great personalised service, friendly and helpful pilots, and great prices.
Videos and pictures from in and around Chamonix with a great movie of the glaciers and a charity ascent of Mont Blanc.
You get air lifted onto the glacier by helicopter and then walk for 2 1/2 hours before being lifted off again. The walk includes getting to grips with walking on crampons, exploring ice caves, crevasses and generally being in awe of your surroundings. A fantastic trip and only one company runs hikes up there meaning that we spent 2 1/2 hours on a major tourist attraction and there were only 6 of us there, surrounded by miles of ice. Fantastic.
During weekends in the summer it's possible to take a helicopter tour above St Petersburg. The cost is around $30 and the helicopters take off and land on the lawn beyond the northern wall of the Peter and Paul Fortress. Just follow the deafening noise…
