Since 1968 the Air Zermatt became famous in commercial, touristic 
and rescue sectors and is established one’s reputation over the 
national border. In the 70’s the Air Zermatt carried out the first direct 
rescue from the notorious north wall of Eiger, Badile and Matterhorn.

Many different rescue systems have been developed in these many 
years of experience in mountain rescue. The rescue helicopters are 
accompanied with anaesthesia doctors, paramedics and rescue 
medical equipment. Their help is called over 1’500 times per year. The 
Air Zermatt occupies over 60 employees and operates with 9 in-house 
helicopters, such as 3 “Lama’s”. These helicopters are used above all 
for transportation in high mountains and as well for rescue operations 
and evacuations over 3500 m/altitude. The Lama with its big round 
panoramic view is very popular for sightseeing flights. Depending on 
the operation the helicopters can be equipped with rescue hoist and 
search light for night missions.

 

The first flight of the “Lama” made in France by Sud Aviation (Aerospa-
tiale) took place on March 17, 1969. 

The helicopter has an Turboméca Artouste IIIB engine with 870 hp 
power. The kerosene consumption is around 220 liter/h and that offers 
the option to raise load capacities up to 900 kg whichever the altitude 
and temperature are. The rotor has an aperture of 11.02 m and the 
body length amounts to 10.26 m. The plexiglass cabin, with the round 
panoramic view, offers place for 4 passengers. The basic weight of 
the helicopter averages 1050 kg, the tank has a capacity for 575 liter 
kerosene, which brings a range of approximately 650 km. 

The maximum speed amounts 220 km/h. The service ceiling of the 
“Lama” averages up to 7000 m/altitude.
