Private jet to Courchevel
Courchevel by private jet: the altiport is very specific, and most guests land in Chambéry or Geneva before going up.
Which airports
- Courchevel altiport (LFLJ): a very short, sloping runway, reserved for specific aircraft and trained crews. We check feasibility before proposing it.
- Chambéry (LFLB): often the most practical choice for the Savoie, then a transfer by road or helicopter.
- Geneva (LSGG): the large neighbouring airport, with business-aviation handling. See the Geneva guide.
When to go and when to book
From mid-December to April, demand is strong, especially during school holidays and New Year. Book early.
