2026 exclusively from Lake Zurich directly to Ascona – to Ticino in about 40 minutes
Fuchs Helikopter has been synonymous with the fascination of flying since 1974. On the occasion of the 16th edition of the Ascona Polo Cup, the Swiss family business, together with the tournament, is offering an exclusive helicopter service (helishuttle): in about 40 minutes, the helicopter trip goes from Lake Zurich in Schindellegi directly to Ascona, for a maximum of five people, for 1700 Swiss francs (CHF) per trip.
Some journeys are part of the experience. Anyone flying to the Ascona Polo Cup in 2026 does not start the weekend at the edge of the field, but high above the Alps, with spectacular views of lakes, mountains, and Ticino.
In the air since 1974
Since 1974, Fuchs Helikopter has been synonymous with passion, professionalism, and the fascination of flying. Founded by Robert Fuchs-Bamert at his own heliport, this passion has been passed down from generation to generation to this day. Behind every service is an experienced team that combines technical competence with personalized attention, whether for an unforgettable sightseeing flight, pilot training, or a demanding special mission.
Precision in the air – just like in polo
Just as in polo, precision, trust, and a sense for the right moment are what count in the air. Strength and speed are used in a controlled manner; man and machine form a perfect unit. In this way, Fuchs Helikopter and polo share the same spirit: dynamism and elegance, tradition and progress, and a passion for extraordinary experiences.
New perspectives from the air
A helicopter flight opens up new perspectives: landscapes become panoramas, distances lose their meaning, and an ordinary moment turns into a lasting memory. Those who wish to take the controls themselves will find professional initiation into the world of helicopter aviation at the flight school. And those who need special footage, fast transport, or reliable technical service will receive a tailor-made solution from a single provider.
