Samedan (LSZS) sits at 1,707 metres in the Engadine valley, four minutes by helicopter or fifteen by chauffeured car to St. Moritz village. It is Europe's highest scheduled airport for business aviation.
Aircraft category is restricted by altitude and runway length: Pilatus PC-24, Citation CJ4 and Phenom 300 are the standard inventory. Heavy jets and Globals position into Zurich or Milan and transfer by helicopter — typically 25 minutes from Zurich, 35 minutes from Milano Malpensa.
Snow Polo Week, the St. Moritz Cricket on Ice, Concours of Elegance and the White Turf collectively consume the high-season slot calendar. PPR is mandatory in winter; confirm aircraft and FBO five days in advance.
For ultra-long-range aircraft, the elegant solution is Zurich (LSZH) → executive terminal → 25-minute helicopter to Samedan or directly to a Suvretta House or Badrutt's Palace helipad on request.
