Air Zermatt AG

Zermatt possesses its own well- equipped heliport and its own helicopter company AIR ZERMATT Ltd., which is famous far beyond the borders of Switzerland for its pioneering work in alpine air- rescue. The heliport is situated at the entrance to Zermatt, where 4 helicopters are based. Another 4 helicopters are based further down the Rhone valley between Visp and Raron and at the Sion airport. These highly- equipped helicopters are on stand- by day and night throughout the year ready to fly injured skiers or mountaineers to a doctor or a hospital. A helicopter is also the quickest and gentlest way of transporting acute cases. An experienced doctor accompanies our crew. This means that a sick or injured person can be flown to a doctor in the village within minutes, or to one of the well- equipped Valais hospitals in 12 to 15 minutes. In cases where weather conditions prevent the helicopter from flying, our ambulance service takes over.
