Take a different approach to exploring Asheville's most famous views and attractions on a scenic helicopter flight. Enjoy picturesque vistas as you fly above Asheville, Western North Carolina, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the French Broad River. After taking off from a private heliport, begin your flight over the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains. Get your dose of adrenaline as you feel the speed of the helicopter and fly low over the treetops and mountains, getting a true taste of the beauty that is the American South. Fly north along Highway 26 towards Biltmore Forest and downtown Asheville. As you circle around Biltmore Forest, get a bird's-eye view of one of America's largest estates. Listen to your guide through included headsets as they point out more highlights, including Antler Hill Village and the winery areas. After the tour, you’ll head back to the heliport across Lake Julian.

Embark on a scenic helicopter flight that will provide you with great views of Lake Lure and the Blue Ridge Foothills. See Hickory Nut Gorge, Lake Lure, and Chimney Rock from a unique perspective before returning to the airport. To begin, head northeast toward Fairview. Fly over Hickory Nut Gap and the Florence Nature Preserve toward Lake Lure with views of the lake as well as the Lake Lure Dam. Be sure to keep an eye out for The 1927 Lake Lure Inn and Spa, featured in the film Dirty Dancing. As you turn, you’ll pass by Chimney Rock, a 315-foot spire overlooking Hickory Nut Gorge and Lake Lure. The tour continues over the valley and along Raven Rock Mountain and the Continental Divide in the Appalachian Mountains on your return to the airport.
