Scenic Helicopter Tours
What you need to know
Scenic Helicopter Tours flies helicopter tours over Asheville and the Blue Ridge Mountains from Asheville Regional Airport, at 240 Wright Brothers Way in Fletcher. It also runs a base near Pigeon Forge in Tennessee. The Asheville Experience is a 24-mile flight over Biltmore Forest and Biltmore Estate, with views of downtown, for $89 per person. Shorter and longer options run from the 12-mile Asheville Introduction Tour at $59 a person to the 50-mile Ultimate Chimney Rock Adventure at $199, plus a Night Flight over downtown's lights for $149. Each helicopter seats up to three passengers, and tours fly year-round Thursday through Sunday from 9 AM until sunset, leaving every 30 minutes. It's an easy way to show kids and visiting family the mountains from above.
Local's Tip
Book a late-afternoon flight for softer light over the mountains. Everyone is weighed at check-in for FAA rules, so call (828) 820-5007 first if anyone in your group is over 300 pounds.
