Since 1992, Chamonix Mont-Blanc Hélicoptères (CMBH) has been at the forefront of high-altitude aerial operations in one of the world’s most iconic mountain regions.
Strategically located at the base of the Argentière Glacier in the Chamonix Valley, CMBH operates at the very heart of the Mont-Blanc Massif. Our operations are shaped by the extreme and ever-changing conditions of the high mountains—conditions that demand precision, expertise, and an unwavering commitment to safety.
CMBH specializes in a comprehensive range of helicopter services tailored to the unique demands of alpine environments. Our core services include heavy lifting for construction projects in remote areas, aerial delivery of materials and supplies to hard-to-access locations, and technical support for mountain infrastructure, including ski lifts, telecommunications equipment, and remote shelters. We are proud to collaborate with mountain rescue services and civil protection units, offering critical support in emergency situations, evacuations, and search and rescue missions. Our highly skilled pilots and technical crews are trained to perform complex operations with accuracy and efficiency, often in extreme weather conditions.
In addition to operational services, CMBH plays an essential role in the region’s film and media industry, providing aerial filming and photography support for documentaries, commercial shoots, and major cinematic productions. Our fleet of modern helicopters is equipped with advanced stabilization systems and camera mounts, allowing us to capture breathtaking footage of the Mont-Blanc range and beyond.
At CMBH, safety is not just a priority—it’s a philosophy that guides every aspect of our work. Our team undergoes continuous training and adheres to strict operational protocols to ensure that every mission is executed safely, responsibly, and with respect for the fragile alpine environment.
For those looking to experience the magic of the mountains from a unique perspective, CMBH offers panoramic helicopter flights that reveal the awe-inspiring beauty of Mont Blanc, the Aiguille du Midi, and the legendary Grandes Jorasses.
