All aircraft sizes; helicopter and car transfers.
To the Rive Gauche: about 10 min by car · Chauffeured sedan, Helicopter to ski resorts
Private jet to Gstaad
Gstaad has a small airfield at Saanen (LSGK) with a runway of about 1,470 m. Every take-off and landing requires prior permission booked online, and the airport warns that the mountain approach can be very challenging. It suits small aircraft and helicopters rather than most business jets.
For jets, the practical gateways are Geneva (GVA) — every aircraft size and the widest choice of aircraft — and Sion (SIR) in the Valais. From either, the last mile is by car or helicopter.
