SCROLL
A 537-metre sloped runway cut into the Alps, at 2,008 metres above sea level, the shortest and steepest commercial airstrip in Europe, and one only a handful of aircraft and pilots are qualified to use.
Courchevel Altiport sits at the foot of the resort, its short runway carved directly into the slope. There is no flat ground here. Aircraft land uphill and take off downhill, using the gradient itself to manage speed, since a standard go-around simply isn't possible once committed to the approach.
It's why the airport requires specific mountain qualification for every pilot who operates here, and why so few private aircraft can use it at all.

Land minutes from your chalet door, skis included, no transfer from Geneva or Chambéry through mountain traffic.
Most private jets cannot legally attempt this runway. Access here is a real differentiator, not a marketing line.
The PC-12's short-field performance and specialised mountain-qualified crew make the approach routine rather than exceptional.

Hans Jet operates direct private charter flights into Courchevel Altiport on the Pilatus PC-12 — one of the very few aircraft qualified for its 537-metre sloped runway — with guaranteed availability and occupied hours only billing.
A private jet from Geneva to Courchevel takes around twenty-five minutes on the Pilatus PC-12, making it the fastest and most direct way into the resort during the ski season. Most operators route clients through Geneva or Chambéry with a two-hour road transfer through mountain traffic — flying direct to the altiport skips that entirely, landing you minutes from your chalet with skis and luggage already on board.
One-way charter pricing for the Geneva to Courchevel route starts from €4,900 on the PC-12, with mountain-qualified crew and guaranteed availability through the December to April peak.
Request a Geneva–Courchevel quoteThe Paris to Courchevel private jet route takes about an hour and ten minutes on the PC-12, departing Le Bourget and landing directly at the altiport — no transfer through Geneva or Chambéry required. It is the busiest route into Courchevel each winter, particularly around the Christmas and February half-term holidays, when demand for mountain-qualified aircraft outstrips supply.
One-way pricing from Paris to Courchevel starts at €9,800, with early booking strongly advised during peak weeks given the limited number of aircraft certified for this runway.
Request a Paris–Courchevel quoteFlying private from London to Courchevel takes around an hour and forty-five minutes on the PC-12, departing Biggin Hill or Farnborough and landing at altitude, at the foot of the slopes. It is one of the most requested winter routes for UK clients, since a standard jet cannot attempt the approach at all — most London-based charter enquiries for Courchevel are quietly redirected to Geneva or Chambéry without the client realising a direct option exists.
One-way pricing from London to Courchevel starts from €13,500, subject to mountain qualification and seasonal slot availability.
Request a London–Courchevel quoteA private jet from Milan to Courchevel takes around fifty minutes on the PC-12, connecting northern Italy directly with the French Alps. It is a favoured route for Italian clients combining a Milan stopover with a ski week, avoiding the long drive over the Alpine passes that the route would otherwise require.
Pricing starts from €7,900 one way, with the PC-12's short-field capability making it one of the only realistic private options for this city pair in winter conditions.
Request a Milan–Courchevel quoteThe Zurich to Courchevel private jet route takes about fifty-five minutes on the PC-12, linking German-speaking Switzerland with the French Alps.

Request a Zurich–Courchevel quoteFlying private from Malta to Courchevel takes around two and a half hours on the PC-12, the longest of Hans Jet's regular routes into the resort. It suits Mediterranean-based clients heading north for a ski trip who want to avoid connecting through a major hub, landing instead directly at altitude on a single non-stop flight.
One-way pricing from Malta to Courchevel starts from €18,600.
Request a Malta–Courchevel quoteMost private jets cannot. Courchevel Altiport's 537-metre sloped runway, at 2,008 metres above sea level, requires specific mountain certification that the majority of business jets and their pilots simply do not hold. Hans Jet operates the Pilatus PC-12 into Courchevel using mountain-qualified crew, making it one of the few private aviation operators genuinely able to fly clients directly into the resort rather than routing them through Geneva or Chambéry.
