Crans Montana
Chartering a private jet to Crans-Montana means reaching one of the sunniest resorts in the Swiss Alps, on its plateau in the Valais, between ski area, championship golf and an alpine art of living. A south-facing mountain resort, Crans-Montana combines prestigious hotels, refined tables and major sporting events. The resort has no airfield: the closest airport is Sion, in the Rhône valley, around thirty minutes away by road or around fifteen minutes by helicopter; Geneva is the other gateway. IBC Aviation orchestrates both the flight and the stay, to or from the resort.
Why charter a private jet to Crans-Montana?
From December to April for skiing, and all year round for golf and art of living, Crans-Montana draws an international clientele in search of sun, space and discretion. The private jet avoids connections, scheduled flights saturated in season and long mountain roads, for an arrival as close as possible to the resort.
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.
Sion airport and private-jet access
Sion airport (SIR / LSGS), around 2.5 km from the city and some thirty kilometres from Crans-Montana, has a 2,000 m runway that accommodates most light, midsize and super-midsize jets, with a customs and immigration facility dedicated to private aviation. It is the closest airport to the resort.
In practice, the private jet lands at Sion, then reaches Crans-Montana in around thirty minutes by road or around fifteen minutes by helicopter. Geneva is an alternative well connected to Europe, around 45 minutes by helicopter. IBC Aviation coordinates this relay for a smooth arrival.
What to see and do in Crans-Montana
The heart of the resort spreads across its sunlit plateau, around Lake Grenon, where in summer a beach hosts swimming, beach volleyball and a waterside terrace. In winter, the ski area climbs to the Plaine Morte glacier, a vast glacial plateau open for skiing year-round, from which a 360° panorama unfolds from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc.
In summer, Crans-Montana reveals itself through its trails — more than 200 km of hiking paths and 177 km of cycling routes — and through its golf: the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club course, designed by Severiano Ballesteros, ranks among the most spectacular in Europe. Between activities, the resort's boutiques, galleries and tables extend a day in the mountains in a refined setting.
Where to stay: prestigious hotels
Crans-Montana gathers several five-star addresses. The Guarda Golf Hotel & Residences borders the Ballesteros course and combines a spa, an indoor pool and private residences. Chetzeron, set at 2,112 m in a former cable-car station, offers ski-in/ski-out access and an infinity pool facing the Valais peaks.
At the heart of the resort, LeCrans Hotel & Spa cultivates an intimate atmosphere, with views of the Alps and one of the most acclaimed tables in the region. The Crans Ambassador, ski-in/ski-out, rounds out the offering with a 1,300 m² spa and several restaurants. Our concierge service books the hotel, the table and the transfers to build a bespoke stay, as a continuation of your flight.
The great events of Crans-Montana
The flagship event is sporting: the Omega European Masters, a stop on the DP World Tour, is held from 3 to 6 September 2026 at the Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club, on the Severiano Ballesteros course. This competition, one of the most prestigious on the European circuit, draws the great names of golf to a unique alpine setting at the end of each summer.
Winter otherwise concentrates the ski season and the festive holidays, while summer extends the season around golf, hiking and sunshine. These periods are among the most in-demand: our teams anticipate the flight, slots and accommodation to secure access.
