Heli Guides · Matterhorn
A unique experience
By locals referred to as the “Great Becca”, in German called Matterhorn, we are talking about the icon of the Alps: the Matterhorn! The perfect pyramid stands out and reigns over the ski area of Breuil-Cervinia Valtournenche Zermatt, one of the largest in the Alps, which is spread over three valleys between Italy and Switzerland. A scenic helicopter flight up here means experiencing the greatness of one of the most narrated peaks, cradle of mountaineering, known and loved as far as Japan. It also means admiring from a unique perspective one of the most internationally known locations. The calm and relaxation you can breathe here, the high-class hotel hospitality, the great offer of outdoor activities, from MTB trails to golf, from paragliding to endless trekking routes, make Cervinia a privileged location for those who love the mountains. The Cervino valley is unique, full of tiny villages, snow-capped peaks, impetuous streams, and the many peaks surrounding our Gran Becca to discover!
