The helipad
Getting there
Nice Côte d'Azur is the region's main air gateway and the departure point for most helicopter flights along the coast. Since 2015 it has had a dedicated helicopter terminal, separate from the commercial terminals, so you do not cross the main concourse between an airline arrival and a helicopter connection.
When to go
Active year-round, with summer road congestion making the air transfer particularly worthwhile from June to September, and a second winter peak towards the Alpine resorts.

FAQ
Frequently asked
Where is the helicopter terminal in Nice?
It sits away from the passenger terminals, on the business aviation side. Access from an airline flight is by shuttle; the operator flying you confirms the exact meeting point when your flight is confirmed.
How much time should I allow between an airline flight and the helicopter departure?
Allow at least an hour after landing for a domestic arrival, more if you have hold baggage or a non-Schengen arrival to clear.
Can I fly from Nice to the ski resorts?
Yes, though the Alpine resorts are quicker to reach from Geneva or Chambéry. From Nice, Courchevel takes around an hour and a half of flying via Monaco.
