Geneva · FAQ

Most-asked questions.

How long and how much is the helicopter from Geneva to Courchevel?

About 30 minutes from the Geneva helipad — from € 2,700 one-way in the Airbus H125 (5 seats) or € 2,850 in the H130 VIP (6 seats), per helicopter. Méribel and Val Thorens are the same time and rate; Val d'Isère from € 2,850.

Geneva to Mégève by helicopter?

About 20 minutes from the Geneva helipad — from € 2,800 in the H125 or € 3,000 in the H130 VIP.

I'm flying commercial into Geneva — does that work?

Yes, and most of our winter clients do. We meet you in arrivals, handle the bags and drive you the short distance to the helipad. Private arrivals transfer apron-side instead.

Swiss resorts from Geneva?

Gstaad, Verbier, Crans-Montana, Zermatt and St. Moritz are quoted separately — with a Swiss operator or from the St-Julien drop zone fifteen minutes away.

What happens in bad weather?

Mountain flying is VFR and daylight-only. If cloud base drops we rebook, reroute to the valley airport, or arrange a car leg. You are never charged for a weather cancellation.

In the Bell 505 (3–4 passengers), all-inclusive, one-way: Annecy 15 min, CHF 1,800 · Lausanne 20 min, CHF 2,200 · Megève 22 min, CHF 2,200 · Chambéry 25 min, CHF 2,400 · Verbier 33 min, CHF 3,200 · Gstaad 35 min, CHF 3,600 · Crans-Montana 38 min, CHF 3,500 · Zurich 65 min, CHF 5,900 · Milan 70 min, CHF 6,200 · Nice 95 min, CHF 7,400 · Saint-Tropez 105 min, CHF 7,900.
