Why the last leg matters

The transfer is the whole problem.

However you arrive, the drive is the same. Scheduled airline into Geneva or Chambéry, or a private jet onto the apron — both end at the same valley road, the same Saturday changeover traffic out of Albertville and Moûtiers, and the same two to three hours.

The helicopter removes it. Twenty minutes from Chambéry to Courchevel, thirty from Geneva to Val Thorens, five minutes between the Three Valleys altiports. We meet commercial arrivals in the terminal and handle the bags to the helipad; private arrivals transfer apron-side.

Every route below is flown by mountain-qualified crews from our AOC partners. The same desk that has flown the Greek islands since 2021 runs the Alpine season.

How it actually works

Mountain flying has rules.

We fly the Alpine season with vetted AOC partners — established French and Swiss operators and their mountain-qualified crews. The grid above is theirs. What we add is the desk: one number, one quote, one person who knows which pad is open.

Altiports are not airports

Courchevel, Megève and Méribel are sloped, short, daylight-only and VFR-only, and they require a specific crew type-rating. We fly them with qualified crews or we do not fly them.

Altitude costs payload

Above 2,000 metres the performance margins narrow. At Val Thorens and Tignes we specify the aircraft and reduce weight rather than accept a marginal take-off.

Geneva is slot-restricted

In high season the airport runs out of slots. The Geneva helipad is the cheaper and more reliable departure point; the St-Julien drop zone, fifteen minutes away, is the fallback.

Saturdays are the constraint

The whole Alpine arc changes over on Saturday. For Christmas, New Year and February half-term we hold aircraft from November.
