Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc Airport sits on the shore of Lac du Bourget, north of Chambéry, and is the closest airport with a full-length runway to Courchevel and the Three Valleys. In winter most of its traffic is skiers, and business aviation is a large part of it.
Private terminal. Business aviation has its own terminal with a VIP lounge, run by the airport operator, and customs clearance can be arranged there for flights from outside the Schengen area, such as London, Manchester, Dublin or Dubai.
Runway. The main runway is 2,020 m (6,627 ft) long, enough for most business jets on flights within Europe; for Dubai or Riyadh we use long-range jets such as the Falcon 7X or Global 6000.
Mountain approach. The airport lies between mountains, and crews need experience of the approach. We only offer operators who fly into Chambéry regularly.
Opening hours and Saturdays. The airport is not open around the clock, and winter Saturdays — the changeover day in the resorts — are by far the busiest, with prior permission needed for each flight. We request it when you book and plan departure times within the opening hours.
Getting to the resorts. The drive to Courchevel or Méribel takes about 1 h 30 outside Saturday traffic, Val Thorens a little longer, and Val d'Isère and Tignes about 2 hours. A helicopter transfer to the resorts can also be arranged.

Ski Season in the Three Valleys
Demand for private flights to Chambéry follows the ski season, and so do fares and aircraft availability.
Christmas and New Year. The most expensive and busiest weeks of the season; book aircraft, parking and transfers well before December.
February half-term. School holidays in the UK, France and the rest of Europe fill the resorts through February, and flights from London, Paris and Brussels are in high demand.
Saturdays. Most chalets change over on Saturday, so most private flights arrive and leave that day. Flying on a Friday or Sunday is often easier and avoids the busiest roads.
Plan ahead. For peak weeks contact your charter manager 3–4 weeks ahead; if Chambéry is full, we can land you at Geneva, Lyon or Grenoble, or arrange a helicopter to Courchevel.
