Flying private to St. Moritz

Engadin Airport in Samedan is a few minutes from St. Moritz and the highest airport in Europe. Its approach runs through a mountain valley, so it operates in daylight and good weather only, and crews need specific training to fly there. Not every operator can serve it, and not every jet.

When Samedan is full or the weather closes in, Zurich is the alternative, about three hours by road or a short helicopter flight. Lugano and Milan are further options from the south.

From London or Paris a light or midsize jet cleared for Samedan flies non-stop. Guests from further away often fly a larger jet to Zurich and connect.

Can a jet land?

Yes, at Engadin Airport in Samedan, but only with an operator and crew cleared for it, in daylight and good weather. Larger jets land at Zurich and continue by helicopter or car.

From Samedan, St. Moritz is about ten minutes by car. From Zurich it is a helicopter flight or around three hours by road.

Helicopter Zurich to St. Moritz: about 55 minutes →
