Operational Challenges
Gstaad is one of Switzerland’s most exclusive winter resorts and the closest airport is Saanen. While it offers direct access to the village, the airport itself is among the most demanding in Europe.
The runway is short and surrounded by mountains, which limits the type of aircraft that can safely land here. Only certain light and midsize jets are suitable and crews require special training for the approach. Operations are also limited to daylight hours under visual flight conditions, which means poor weather or late departures can quickly affect plans. Parking is scarce and must be arranged well in advance during the ski season.

We match you with the right aircraft and qualified crew, secure the necessary permissions and parking, and prepare alternates so your journey to Gstaad is smooth and without surprises. With our expertise, you can arrive directly in the heart of the Alps and step onto the slopes or into your chalet with no delays.
