Frequently Asked Questions

Can jets land at Courchevel Airport?

No. Courchevel's 1,762-foot runway, 18.5% gradient, and 6,588-foot elevation restrict operations to specific STOL aircraft (Pilatus PC-6/PC-12, TBM series) and helicopters. No standard jets can land at CVF.

How do I get to Courchevel by private jet?

Most clients fly heavy jets into Geneva (GVA), Chambery (CMF), or Lyon (LYS), then transfer by helicopter (30 to 50 minutes) or ground car (2 to 3 hours depending on snow conditions). Direct CVF arrival requires a Pilatus PC-12 or TBM from a nearby airport.

When is Courchevel busiest?

Peak season runs late December through mid-April, with the Christmas/New Year week and Russian Orthodox Christmas (January 7) being the most demanding. Slots during these weeks should be booked 90+ days in advance.
