Geneva → Val Thorens · FAQ

Most-asked questions.

How long is the helicopter from Geneva to Val Thorens?

About 30 minutes from Geneva to Val Thorens.

How much is the helicopter from Geneva to Val Thorens?

From € 2,700 one-way in the Airbus H125 (5 seats) or € 2,850 in the H130 VIP (6 seats), per helicopter.

Where do you land in Val Thorens?

The licensed drop zone at the resort edge, with a short transfer to the hotels. The pad closes in strong wind — Chambéry plus a road leg is the fallback.

Does altitude change the aircraft choice?

Yes. At 2,300 metres we specify the H125 or H130 and reduce payload rather than accept a marginal take-off.

Can you meet me in the terminal?

Yes. VIP assistance — a direct van transfer to the helicopter area with luggage handling — is available for € 400.

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.

What is in the price?

One-way, per helicopter, including airport taxes, handling and VAT, from our operators' winter grids. Twin-engine aircraft on request. Peak weeks can carry a premium — we confirm against live availability before you commit.
