1,707 mThe altitude of Engadin Airport, Samedan
St. Moritz is served by Engadin Airport at Samedan, at 1,707 meters above sea level, which takes business jets in the winter season. Gstaad has a small airfield at Saanen. Courchevel has its altiport above the resort, a short sloping runway open to small aircraft and helicopters with pilots qualified for it.
The altiport above Courchevel sits at 2,008 meters, with a runway of 537 meters that climbs at 18.6%. It opened in the early 1960s, and in 1997 it played an arms bazaar in the opening of Tomorrow Never Dies. The helicopters of the Alps are in Helicopters.
The long-range business jets now fly New York to Hong Kong or London to Singapore without a stop. Bombardier calls its Global 8000, which entered service with its first delivery, the fastest business jet in the world. Gulfstream's G700 and G800 fly in the same class.
Flight times between the places on the board are on each place's own page, read from airline schedules.
