Who says that culinary experiences have to be time-consuming and laborious? We prove the opposite and take enjoyment and luxury to a whole new level – on a gourmet flight by helicopter, we fly in style through the impressive Alpine scenery directly to the Mondschein restaurant in the Italian village of Sappada. Here, adventure flying meets fine cuisine and high Alpine scenery meets Italian hospitality – all in just half a day, with no effort at all, but with lasting impressions.
An experience that goes beyond a culinary delight
The day begins with takeoff. We start with our Airbus H125, a luxury helicopter with remarkable and individual features – the total flight time is approximately 60 minutes, and after just a few minutes in the air, it becomes clear that it's not just about reaching the destination; the exclusive helicopter flight itself is a memorable experience.
Alpine panorama included
The carefully planned route takes you over famous Alpine peaks, through expansive valleys, and over spectacular plateaus. A special section accompanies the famous Grossglockner High Alpine Road – with a view of the impressive Grossglockner. A sight that can only be experienced in this way when flying. The helicopter glides in gentle curves over passes, valleys, and mountain ridges, through changing light conditions and past rugged rock formations.
The large windows, comfortable seats, and reassuring flight stability of the Airbus H125 helicopter almost give you the feeling of being in a movie theater—only better, because this movie in the form of a sightseeing flight is live and unique.
Landing in Sappada – where alpine charm meets Italian cuisine
After about 30 minutes of flight time, you will reach Sappada, a small mountain village with lots of charm, history, and alpine culture. Our pilot lands on an exclusive landing pad right outside the restaurant doors. This landing alone is an essential part of the experience. The restaurant team will be waiting for you there. A short walk away, the second part of this special day begins: culinary delights with a view of the helicopter waiting nearby.
The Mondschein restaurant – culinary excellence at over 1,200 meters
The Mondschein restaurant is not only the place to go for good food, it is a distinctive location with soul. The cuisine is characterized by Italian sophistication, alpine regionality, and an awareness of seasonal products. In a stylish ambience, dishes are served that professionally combine tradition and creativity. Whether homemade pasta, finely seasoned meat dishes, or regional specialties with a touch of modernization, each dish is like a small but meticulous work of art, combining Italian charm with the unmistakable South Tyrolean flair. In summary, it reflects a perfect blend of both cultures, noticeable in both taste and character.
The wine list offers a fine selection of selected Italian and international top wines. If you wish, you can let yourself be surprised by a menu or choose à la carte. Hospitality is a way of life here, so vegetarian or special requests are also very welcome.
A stay that allows you to enjoy yourself
Allow a good 2.5 hours for your stay at the Mondschein restaurant. This allows enough time for a meal, the opportunity to relax and enjoy a glass of wine, and to take in the atmosphere, the view, the tranquility, and the sight of the nearby helicopter. After the meal, we recommend a short walk through the adjacent mountain village to process a few impressions and get some exercise before returning to the helicopter landing pad to start the flight home.
Return flight with memories as luggage
The return flight begins with a fascinating view of the Lienz Dolomites. This special journey home takes you through equally breathtaking mountain scenery, only this time from a different perspective. Knowing that you have experienced something very special and still impressed by an extraordinary experience, you fly back home contentedly in the helicopter, accompanied by the gentle and soothing sound of the rotor blades.
