A house for the party, with staff where you want them: a chef, a host, a driver. Tell us the resort, the bedrooms and the budget.
How we choose a chalet
Luxury ski holidays
A staffed chalet in Courchevel, Verbier, St. Moritz or Aspen, the private jet to the runway nearest the resort and the car or helicopter for the last stretch, arranged through one contact. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted.

What a ski holiday with us includes
A ski week comes in four parts, and each depends on the others: the chalet sets the resort, the resort sets the airport, and the airport sets the aircraft and the transfer. We plan them together, so the dates, the luggage and the arrival time line up.
The private jet
The aircraft to the runway nearest the resort, sized for the party and the ski bags.
Airports for each resortThe transfer
The car from the ramp to the door, or a helicopter when the weather and the landing site allow.
Car or helicopterOn the mountain
Ski hosts and instructors for the party, and tables at the mountain and village restaurants you want.
How it comes togetherSeven resorts for a luxury ski holiday
Each resort has its own airport question, set out in the table below. The season dates are the ones each resort or lift company has published for 2026/27; snow can move them.
Courchevel 1850
The highest of Courchevel's villages, in the Three Valleys. The season runs from 4 December 2026 to 18 April 2027.
Courchevel by airVerbier
In the Four Valleys, an hour by car from Sion airport. Its lifts opened at weekends from 7 November 2026.
Private jet to GenevaSt. Moritz
In the Upper Engadin, ten minutes from Samedan airport. Corviglia runs from 28 November 2026 to 4 April 2027.
London to Zurich and SamedanGstaad
About two hours by car from Geneva. The Saanerslochgrat and Hornberg lifts run from 20 November 2026 to 4 April 2027, Glacier 3000 until 30 April.
Zermatt
Car-free, below the Matterhorn. The season runs from 1 November 2026 to 3 May 2027, the longest of the seven.
Cortina and Val Gardena
The Dolomites, both in the Dolomiti Superski area, whose main season runs from 4 December 2026 to 4 April 2027.
Aspen
Four mountains: Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass. Aspen Mountain opens on 26 November 2026 and closes on 18 April 2027.
Private jet to AspenPrivate jet to the ski resorts: the airport for each
The large airports take every cabin but sit one to three hours from the slopes. The mountain airports are close but small, and most work in daylight only. Which one suits you depends on the aircraft, the hour you land and the weather on the day, so we plan the alternate with the flight.
| Resort | Airport for the jet | Then | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Courchevel 1850 | Chambéry (CMF), or Geneva (GVA) | About 90 min by car or 25 min by helicopter from Chambéry; 20 to 30 min by helicopter from Geneva | Chambéry is a winter-season airport, open from December to April. The altiport above the resort takes no jets. |
| Verbier | Sion (SIR), or Geneva (GVA) | 60 min by car or about 15 min by helicopter from Sion; 90 min by car from Geneva | Sion takes light and midsize jets in the daytime, on a 2,000 m runway with a mountain approach. |
| St. Moritz | Samedan (SMV), or Zurich (ZRH) | 10 min by car from Samedan; about 3 hours by car from Zurich, or a short helicopter transfer | Europe's highest airport at 1,707 m, with an 1,800 m runway, open in daylight only. Every pilot completes the airport's own briefing first. |
| Gstaad | Geneva (GVA), or Bern | About 2 hours by car from Geneva, 1 hour 30 from Bern; 20 to 30 min by helicopter from Geneva | Air taxis serve Gstaad's own airfield at Saanen; the operator confirms whether your aircraft can use it. |
| Zermatt | Sion (SIR), or Geneva (GVA) | By car to Täsch, then the 12-minute shuttle train; about 20 min by helicopter from Sion | No cars in the village. The helicopter lands at Zermatt's heliport. |
| Cortina d'Ampezzo | Venice (VCE), or Treviso (TSF) | 162 km by road from Venice, 130 km from Treviso | Coaches run from both airports in season; we book a private car. |
| Val Gardena | Bolzano (BZO) | Under an hour by car | A 1,432 m runway, so the operator confirms which jets can use it. |
| Aspen | Aspen-Pitkin County (ASE), or Eagle County (EGE) | 10 min by car from Aspen-Pitkin County; 1 hour 45 from Eagle County | Wingspan limited to 95 ft and weight to 100,000 lb, curfew 11 pm to 7 am, and most operators arrive in daylight only. |
Drive times are indicative, in normal winter traffic. The operator confirms which airport the aircraft and crew can use for your dates.
Can a private jet land at Courchevel?
No. The altiport above Courchevel 1850 has a runway of 536 metres, with a slope of up to 18.66 per cent, at an elevation of about 2,006 metres. The French aeronautical information publication limits it to helicopters and propeller aircraft of up to 5.7 tonnes, so no jet lands there.
Aeroplane pilots need a mountain rating or an access authorisation for the altiport, and commercial flights need the French civil aviation authority's approval for each aircraft type. Most of its winter traffic is helicopters: the town puts them at about 70 per cent of some 6,500 movements.
So the jet lands at Chambéry, about 25 minutes from Courchevel by air, or at Geneva. The last leg is a helicopter, or a small turboprop where the operator holds the approval, up to the altiport a couple of minutes from the village.
The last stretch: car or helicopter
A car waits on the ramp with room for the skis. A helicopter saves the mountain road when the weather and the landing site allow, and the car stays booked as the fallback.
From Geneva, Courchevel, Verbier and Gstaad are twenty to thirty minutes by helicopter, against up to two hours by road. The largest cabins, which Sion and Chambéry cannot take, land at Geneva and finish this way.

We start from the people, not from a listing: how many bedrooms, who is skiing and who is not, how close to the lifts, and which staff you want in the house.
We don't publish chalets or prices here. Availability and weekly rates change through the season, so the houses we propose are the ones free for your dates, each with its description, its staff and its terms.

Four steps, whichever parts of the trip you ask us to arrange. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a luxury ski holiday cost?
It depends on the resort, the week, the chalet and the flight, so the proposal prices each part separately. We don't publish chalet prices. For the flight, indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about €10,000 from London to Geneva in a light jet and about $11,500 from Dallas to Aspen.
Can a private jet land at Courchevel?
No. Courchevel's altiport has a 536-metre runway with a slope of up to 18.66 per cent, and the French aeronautical information publication limits it to helicopters and propeller aircraft of up to 5.7 tonnes. The jet lands at Chambéry or Geneva, and a helicopter or an approved small turboprop completes the trip.
Which airport is closest to Verbier, Courchevel and St. Moritz?
Sion for Verbier, an hour by car. Chambéry for Courchevel, about 90 minutes by car, from December to April. Samedan for St. Moritz, ten minutes away, in daylight only. Geneva and Zurich take the larger cabins and the later arrivals, with a longer drive or a helicopter to finish.
When is the 2026/27 ski season?
Most of these resorts open in late November or early December and close in April: Courchevel from 4 December 2026 to 18 April 2027, Corviglia in St. Moritz from 28 November to 4 April, the Dolomiti Superski area from 4 December to 4 April, and Aspen Mountain from 26 November to 18 April. Zermatt runs longest, from 1 November 2026 to 3 May 2027.
How far ahead should I plan a ski trip for Christmas or February?
As early as you can. Geneva's Saturday slots for Christmas and New Year are allocated in October, February half-term brings four weekends of full ramps at Geneva, Sion and Chambéry, and Aspen allocates its slots and parking weeks ahead of the peak fortnight. Later requests are still worth sending; what is available is confirmed when we reply.
Do you own the chalets or the aircraft?
No. We arrange them. The chalet comes from its owner or managing agency and the aircraft and helicopter from their operators, and the proposal names who provides what before you approve anything.
