Landing points and permissions
Direct landing at a private property is only possible subject to landing permissions, suitable landing infrastructure, local regulation and operator approval. Where it is not available, we fly to the nearest approved helipad or airport and coordinate the final leg by car or tender.
How the price is built
Pricing follows positioning, sector time, landing and handling fees, crew duty and season — not a published per-seat fare. SkyMatch sources and compares licensed operators for the exact date and party, and the flight remains subject to availability, weather, permits and operator approval.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the helicopter flight from Monaco to Courchevel & Megève?
About 75 minutes airborne over roughly 290 km, subject to routing, aircraft and traffic.

5h–7h by road, longer in winter conditions. The helicopter typically saves most of a driving day.
Where does the flight actually depart from and arrive?
Monaco Heliport (MCM) to Courchevel Altiport or Megève Altiport. Direct landing at a private property is only possible subject to landing permissions, suitable landing infrastructure, local regulation and operator approval. Where it is not available, we fly to the nearest approved helipad or airport and coordinate the final leg by car or tender.
How much does this transfer cost?
It is quoted per mission rather than per seat. Aircraft type, positioning, landing fees, crew duty and season all move the number, so we price the specific date with the operators.
How many passengers and how much luggage?
4–6. Ski carriage must be declared; it changes the aircraft choice.
Which aircraft is used?
Twin-engine alpine-capable class. The operator confirms the final type against payload and sector length.
What can stop the flight?
Altiport operations are weather-critical; expect diversions to Chambéry. Flights are subject to aircraft availability, operator approval, permits and landing-site permissions — always keep a ground fallback for time-critical connections.
