Switzerland
St Moritz
Where alpine glamour was born — frozen lakes, champagne air, and the original winter playground of the world.
SMV · Direct to Samedan
St Moritz invented the winter holiday, and a century and a half later it still sets the standard. High in the Engadin valley, it pairs serious mountains with a social scene of grand hotels, polo on the frozen lake and a clientele that has been coming for generations. The light here — sharp, clear, almost effervescent — is the stuff of legend.
It is glamour with substance: world-class skiing by day, white-tablecloth tradition by night, and an exclusivity that is felt rather than advertised. For those who know it, no other alpine address quite compares.
Popular charter routes
Flying to St Moritz
Samedan (Engadin, SMV) is Europe's highest airport — a short, high-altitude, daylight-only field that demands the right aircraft. Many clients land here directly; others arrive via Zurich or Milan and transfer by helicopter or road. Typical sectors:
The right aircraft
Samedan's altitude and short runway are performance-limiting — light jets and the Pilatus PC-24 are well suited, and crews must be approved for the field. For larger cabins arriving from further afield, the elegant solution is a heavy jet into Zurich or Milan and a short helicopter transfer into the valley.

December – March (winter) · July – August (summer)
Winter, December to March, is the classic season — skiing, the frozen-lake events and the full social calendar. Summer (July–August) reveals a quieter, greener Engadin of hiking, lakes and clear alpine air that the regulars guard jealously.
To see & do
The St Moritz you came for
The frozen lake
Winter on Lake St Moritz is an event in itself — polo, racing and cricket played on the ice, watched from the right marquee.
Private mountain
Guided off-piste and first tracks above the valley, then long lunches at altitude where the sun does most of the work.
Grand-hotel tradition
The legendary houses of St Moritz remain the heart of the social scene — we secure the suites and the tables that matter.
The arrival
Samedan (SMV) puts you minutes from the resort but is weather- and performance-sensitive; we always plan a Zurich or Milan alternative so the journey is never in doubt.
