Flying private from LSGK.
Saanen (LSGK) is one of the main private aviation airports serving Gstaad.
Saanen is the airfield for Gstaad, about 3 km from the resort, with customs and passport control on site for both Schengen and non-Schengen flights.
The 1,400 m runway is short, high and surrounded by terrain, has no lighting and needs a mandatory pilot briefing, so the operator must confirm the aircraft and crew can use it.
Other options in Gstaad include Sion (SIR). Flights are operated by FOCA-licensed operators.
