Private helicopter from Geneva Airport to Gstaad-Saanen airfield, at around 1,000 m in the Saanenland. The flight takes about 35 to 40 minutes; the road via the lakeside and the passes takes 1 h 45 to 2 h 30. Charter on request.
Time saving
About 35 to 40 minutes by helicopter against 1 h 45 to 2 h 30 by road — the lakeside route and the mountain passes slow further on winter Saturdays.

- Alpine platforms are served by mountain-qualified pilots; landing slots adjust to the day's conditions.
- Ski bags travel in the hold — mention them at booking so loading can be arranged.

Frequently asked questions
Can the helicopter connect with my flight into Geneva?
+
Yes. Departure is planned around your arrival time, luggage included. If your flight runs late, the crew shifts the slot within the weather window and Saanen's operating hours.
Is ski equipment carried?
+
Yes, in covers, in the hold. State the number of pairs at booking; on arrival a car covers the short transfer into Gstaad.
What if the weather closes the flight window?
+
As a valley-floor airfield, Saanen often stays reachable when high platforms close. If the flight cannot operate, it is brought forward, postponed or replaced by a chauffeured road transfer.
