Saint-Moritz - Switzerland
Chartering a private jet to St. Moritz means reaching the most iconic resort in the Engadin, the birthplace of luxury Alpine tourism and twice host of the Winter Olympics. In the heart of the Grisons, St. Moritz draws an international clientele in search of great skiing and the art of living. Its airport, Samedan, is the highest in Europe: a demanding field whose particularities IBC Aviation knows well.
Why charter a private jet to St. Moritz?
A frozen lake, horse racing on ice, the Cresta Run, grand hotels and a high-altitude ski area: St. Moritz cultivates a singular elegance, in winter and summer alike. The private jet brings flexibility and avoids the long road transfers from Zurich or Milan, invaluable in peak season.
For a ski stay as much as for an event, our teams select from our fleet the right aircraft and coordinate the whole journey up to the resort.
Samedan, Europe's highest airport
Around 5 km from St. Moritz, Samedan – Engadin Airport (SMV / LSZS) is, at 1,707 m of elevation, the highest in Europe. Its runway of around 1,800 m takes light and midsize jets, but the altitude, the terrain and the absence of an ILS require visual operations (VFR), subject to weather conditions and to specially qualified crews.
In practice, a direct flight to Samedan is possible but weather-dependent; otherwise, Zurich Airport (around 3 hours by road) or Milan serve as gateways, followed by a road or helicopter transfer. Assessing the best option is precisely the role of your broker.
Which cities can you fly from to St. Moritz by private jet?
Samedan and Zurich, the gateways to St. Moritz, are reached directly from many European cities:
- Zurich – Samedan: around 0h40 flight
- Geneva – Samedan: around 0h45
- Nice – Samedan: around 1h00
- Munich – Samedan: around 1h00
- Paris – Samedan: around 1h30
- London – Samedan: around 2h00
These links put St. Moritz within weekend reach of the main capitals. Our teams match the aircraft and the routing to the constraints of the Alpine airport and to the weather.
St. Moritz, the elegance of the Engadin
A pioneer of skiing and prestige hospitality, St. Moritz combines Olympic heritage, exceptional events — White Turf on the frozen lake, polo and cricket on snow — and a renowned ski area. Grand hotels, starred dining and the distinctive light of the Upper Engadin round out the experience, extended in summer by hiking and sailing on the lakes.
The resort sits within an Alpine cluster well suited to the private jet, alongside Zermatt, Verbier and Crans-Montana.
