Lamas are still in extensive use, both for 'trips round the bay' and for serious work- watched one lifting replacement electric pylons for the railway line through Chateau D'Oex for example.

All the major players have at least one Lama- Air Glaciers, BoHag, Heliswiss, Air Zermatt etc.

For the heavier stuff, then the Kamov Ka-32 is the one to use

The various Eurocopters are also quite popular especially with REGA, and the Swiss Air Force are now replacing their Allouette IIIs with the EC135.
