Franz Josef Glacier Helicopter Flight in Franz Josef & Fox Glacier (2026) | Compare 24+ Tours

Q: What should I wear for the glacier helicopter flight?

Wear layers, including a windproof/waterproof jacket and sturdy closed-toe shoes. Temperatures on the ice are much colder than the ground.

Q: How does weather affect the flight schedule?

Flights are highly weather-dependent. If cancelled due to wind or low clouds, you will be offered a full refund or a rescheduled time.

Q: Is a snowsuit provided during the glacier landing?

Most operators provide specialized snowsuits for the walking portion to keep you warm and dry while exploring the ice.

Q: Are there age or weight restrictions for the flight?

Infants are usually allowed with a lap seat, but check specific operator rules. Most flights have no strict weight limit, but balance is key.

Q: Can I book a flight if I have motion sickness?

Yes, but it is recommended to take motion sickness medication 30 minutes prior, as helicopter movement can be bumpy over rugged terrain.

Q: What is the difference between a scenic flight and a snow landing flight?

Scenic flights offer views from the air, while snow landing flights include a helicopter landing and a guided walk on the glacier ice.
