Monaco Heliport → Alba (Piedmont)

Helicopter Charter — Monaco to Alba, Piedmont

White truffles and Barolo, back in Monaco for dinner.

≈ 40–45 minAirbus H130 / H135 (up to 5 passengers)Up to 5 pax

Private charter on request

Indicative fares, excluding landing and waiting fees. The firm price is confirmed by the operator flying you.

Lift off from Monaco Heliport, cross the Ligurian Alps and set down in the Langhe about 40 to 45 minutes later — a journey of three hours or more by road. The aircraft waits on site through the day; departures from Nice work just as well. Full charter, on request.

Time saving

About 40–45 minutes by helicopter against 3 h – 3 h 30 by road each way — the difference between a long weekend and a single autumn day.

Why this route

✓One reservation covers the whole day: the flight, the waiting aircraft, and — on request — truffle hunt and a starred table.
✓The day trip only exists by air: six to seven hours of driving would swallow the very time the trip is for.
✓Departure from Monaco or Nice, set to your dates, for up to five passengers.

Frequently asked questions

Can we do the round trip in a day from Monaco?

Yes — that is the point of this charter. About 40 to 45 minutes each way, the aircraft waits in the Langhe, and you are back in Monaco in the evening. The same journey takes three to three and a half hours by road, each way.

Where exactly do we land?

At an approved landing site in the Langhe — certain wine estates and relais receive helicopters under permit, confirmed with your quote. Failing that, the aircraft lands at Cuneo-Levaldigi or Turin, with 45 minutes to an hour by road to Alba.

Are the truffle hunt and the restaurant booked separately?

No. The day is arranged as a single reservation: a truffle hunt with a local trifulau and a starred table are added on request, and everything appears on the same quote.
