Courchevel 1850, France
Chartering a private jet to Courchevel means reaching the summit of European luxury skiing in a few hours, at the heart of the Trois Vallées. The resort has one of the most spectacular airfields in the Alps — Courchevel Altiport — but it does not take jets: private flights land at Chambéry or Geneva, then reach the resort by helicopter or road. A mountain logistics that IBC Aviation orchestrates end to end.
Why charter a private jet to Courchevel?
From December to April, Courchevel draws an international clientele in search of discretion and time saved. The private jet avoids connections, scheduled flights saturated in season and long mountain roads, for an arrival as close as possible to the slopes.
Our teams select from our fleet the aircraft suited to the distance and the number of passengers, and arrange the onward connection to the resort.
Courchevel Altiport and private-jet access
Courchevel Altiport (CVF / LFLJ), perched above the resort at 1,850 m, is famous for its runway of just 537 m and its steep gradient of around 18.6%. It is reserved for specially certified light aircraft — turboprops such as the Pilatus PC-12 or Cessna Caravan — and for helicopters. Jets are not admitted.
In practice, the private jet lands at Geneva or Chambéry, the closest airport, then the journey continues by helicopter, certified light aircraft or road. IBC Aviation coordinates this relay for a smooth arrival, despite the constraints specific to high-mountain operations.
