Most people fly commercial and sit in traffic for 3 hours to reach the slopes.
The 1% land 10 minutes from the chairlift.
Europe's most exclusive ski destinations have one thing in common:
Private jet access.
🏔️ Courchevel, France - The only altiport in the Alps. That 537m runway with an 18.5% gradient? Only the best pilots land here.
🏔️ Samedan, Switzerland - Gateway to St. Moritz. One of Europe's highest airports at 1,707m elevation.
🏔️ Innsbruck, Austria - Dramatic mountain approach surrounded by peaks.
🏔️ Sion, Switzerland - Direct access to Verbier and Zermatt.
The aircraft of choice? Light jets like the Phenom 300 or midsize like the Praetor 600.
Compact enough for short runways. Range for anywhere in Europe.
