Air Glaciers

Air Glaciers is a Swiss helicopter company headquartered at Sion Airport in the Valais region of Switzerland. The company provides aerial services across the country and operates a network of bases that support its missions in the Swiss Alps.

The company operates from six bases. These are located in Sion, Collombey, Leysin, Gampel, Lauterbrunnen, and Gstaad. This wide geographic spread allows Air Glaciers to serve both western and central alpine regions with local access to helicopters and crews.

Air Glaciers offers scenic helicopter flights for tourists and private passengers seeking aerial views of the mountains. The company also provides transport services, pest control treatments, and professional training programs through its dedicated Training Center. Customers can browse additional offerings through the company's online shop and events page.

The company operates a rescue card program designed to fill coverage gaps left by standard health and supplemental insurance policies. The card covers helicopter rescue operations throughout Switzerland and Liechtenstein, regardless of which rescue company performs the actual mission. This benefit applies to costs not covered by existing insurance.

Rescue card benefits include one emergency ambulance transport to the nearest hospital per person per year. The program also covers evacuation flights during times of danger, search flights for missing persons, and medically necessary repatriation from abroad back to Switzerland. Cardholders remain responsible for insurance deductibles and co payments.

Rescue card rates start at CHF 35 per year for an individual. A couple pays CHF 70 per year, a single parent family pays CHF 45 per year, and a standard family pays CHF 80 per year. Each membership remains valid for 365 days from the payment date rather than following the calendar year.

Air Glaciers does not lock members into long term contracts or require a cancellation notice period for the rescue card. Members decide each year whether to renew their coverage. The company supports the development of alpine rescue services and maintains active contact points at all six bases for flights, transport, and customer inquiries.
