After a stunning scenic flight past the mighty Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau with their 13 500 ft (4000 m) high peaks you will land on the ice fields of a mountain glacier. This is the luxurious way to experience the path less travelled that is normally explored by the fit and fearless mountaineers.

The meeting place is the Scenic Air base in Reichenbach. You will be greeted on arrival by our friendly staff. The pilot will acquaint you with Scenic Air’s safety regulations and provide a fascinating insight into what awaits you upon the glacier. After take-off you will fly over Interlaken, along Lake Brienz, past the majestic mountains of the Bernese Oberland, and on to the Kanderfirn. As the pilot points out the landing field, it is hard to imagine that it's at all possible. To make a unique experience even more special, we also offer the opportunity of a champagne apèro on the glacier, before re-boarding the plane for your return flight over the Kander valley and back to Reichenbach.

Our scenic flights are suitable for anyone 5 years old and older.

The original New Munich Beer Challenge is a 4-hour beer experience which shouldn’t be missed. We visit the beer halls, beer gardens and brewing lore which are among Munich’s favorites. No experience would be complete without a stop at arguably the most famous beer hall in the world, the Hofbräuhaus. We discover how beer is made; the important part beer halls play in the history of Germany and Bavaria, and learn drinking traditions and songs along the way.

Enjoy an afternoon with new friends relaxing in sunny beer gardens and beer halls with some of the world’s finest beer, bratwurst and other classic German cuisine. Sing along with traditional ‘umpapa’ bands and if, after four hours (and two free beers and a shot of Jägermeister from us!) you’re still standing firm, you’ll be awarded your own individualized membership card to help you remember your success!
Ticket price includes all transportation costs – Save up to €6.90!

You must be 18+ to enjoy this night out. Please bring valid Photo I.D. SANDEMANs NEW EUROPE TOURS supports the responsible enjoyment of alcoholic beverages. When it is misused, alcohol can be dangerous. We want everyone to have an unforgettable night with us, but our mission is to show you Munich’s beer culture, NOT to get you drunk.
