Private jet charter to Gstaad

Gstaad has its own airfield three kilometres from the village, and a charter flight cannot use it. That single fact shapes every booking to this resort, and this page explains it properly before it quotes anything: where the aircraft actually lands, what the last leg costs, and why the helicopter is not a luxury here but the practical answer. Our customers have access to 6500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. For 15 years of successful work, we have established partnerships with the world’s largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you the most favorable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. The aircraft we quote for the Bernese Oberland sit at the London fields and across northern Europe, and in the ski season a good number are already working the Alpine circuit.

 

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter towards Gstaad depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

• using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
• via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
• by landline or cell phone;
• via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

Every price on this page is indicative and put together the way a real quote is: a named aircraft on a named sector, the passenger count shown. The tables below give current levels, and a personal calculation takes our consultant about 20 minutes through any form here.

 

How long does it take to fly to Gstaad?

An hour and twenty-three minutes from Luton to Bern, and an hour and seventeen from Biggin Hill to Geneva. From Birmingham allow an hour and twenty-six, from Manchester an hour and a half, and from Edinburgh an hour and forty-six. Then add the last leg: fourteen minutes by helicopter from Bern, or an hour and a quarter by road, which is the part of this journey that decides how the day feels.

 

These are the sectors we fly most often towards Gstaad. All of them end at an airport in the valley rather than at the resort, and the times below cover the jet leg only:

• Aircraft range: 1550 nm, 2871 km | 404 kts, 748 kmh
• Route: LTN | EGGW ⟶ BRN | LSZB
• Distance: 428 nm / 792 km
• Flight time: 1:23 h

• Flight time: 1:33 h

 

5 route

• Edinburgh - Bern, by private jet Challenger 605
• Aircraft range: 3995 nm, 7400 km | 470 kts, 870 kmh
• Route: EDI | EGPH ⟶ BRN | LSZB
• Distance: 676 nm / 1253 km
• Flight time: 1:46 h

 

The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Gstaad

Below are the approximate prices for recent flights from across the UK, sorted from the lowest price. Every one of them lands at Bern, Geneva or Sion rather than at Gstaad itself, for the reason set out further down this page. The last leg, by helicopter or by road, is quoted separately and covered in its own section:

We can arrange flights from any city in the UK. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, please use the form below:

 

Private jet flights towards Gstaad from Europe

• Small jet - from 1800 to 2500 GBP per flight hour;
• Light jet - from 2300 to 3200 GBP per flight hour;
• Medium-sized jet (identical to Cessna Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP, etc.) - from 2900 to 3700 GBP per flight hour;

Also, we have prepared a table with the general prices of the most popular planes:

 

The cost per hour indicated in the table is preliminary and does not constitute an offer or a commercial offer. Exact prices are available from the managers of the company.

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database holds over 6500 business jets. The jet leg here is short and the classes below all fly it easily, so the choice is about the size of the party and the quantity of ski equipment rather than about range:

 

This is only a part of what is available. The aircraft on your contract is chosen for the sector and the date, and between January and March we look first at what is already working the Alpine circuit.

  Departure on the route.

 

Business aviation airports in Gstaad

Gstaad has an airfield of its own at Saanen, three kilometres from the village, and it is the reason this page needs a longer explanation than most. The runway is 1,400 metres with displaced thresholds that leave about a thousand usable, the field is uncontrolled, and it can only be flown under visual rules in daylight. Pilots need a specific briefing and a permit for each movement.

Bern Belp is the answer for the great majority of bookings. It handles business traffic properly, it sits an hour and a quarter from Gstaad by road and fourteen minutes by helicopter, and it does not have Geneva’s February congestion. Sion looks closer on a map and is not: the direct line crosses the Col du Pillon, and the road around it takes as long as the run from Bern. Geneva earns its place when the party is arriving on a scheduled connection or when the aircraft is continuing somewhere that suits it better.

 

 

Flying to Gstaad with a dog or a cat

Switzerland is outside the European Union but inside the pet travel arrangement, so the paperwork is the familiar set and your own vet will recognise it. What differs here is the last leg: the animal has a helicopter ride ahead of it, and that is worth a moment of thought.

What Switzerland asks for on the way in:

• An ISO 11784/11785 microchip, implanted before the rabies vaccination rather than after it;
• A rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before entry, the animal being 12 weeks old or more when it was administered;
• An EU Animal Health Certificate from a UK government-authorised veterinarian, issued within 10 days of arrival and valid for the journey home for up to four months;
• Up to five animals per owner, travelling with the owner as a non-commercial movement;
• Praziquantel from a Swiss vet 24 to 120 hours before landing back in Britain, recorded with the date and the product. Dogs only; cats are exempt.

Requirements for ferrets, birds and anything less usual are set out on our flying with pets guide, and our managers confirm the current position in writing for your dates before a booking is taken.

 

Types of flights

Our company provides all types of business flights. Due to a wide variety of jets, we can arrange:

1. private flights;
2. corporate flights;
3. business class flights;
4. concert tours;
5. medical flights (with doctors and special equipment on board);
6. tourist flights for large and small groups;
7. sports charters for teams and coaching staff;
8. combined flights (partly by business jet, and partly by helicopter);
9. exclusive flights on luxury jets for businessmen, celebrities, and politicians;
10. cargo flights, etc.

A flexible approach and a wide experience allow us to solve problems of any complexity. In 90% of cases, we manage to arrange urgent flights (on the day of application). But to be sure, we recommend you send a request at least 2-5 days before the desired date of departure.

 

 

Empty Legs

Another way to fly cheaper is to use Empty Legs. This service allows you to save on regular charter rates. As you know, part of the flights is one-way (for example, when the passenger flies from England to Gstaad). After the flight, the jet returns to its home base (for example, to London Farnborough airport) empty. Such flight is called “Empty Legs”. Empty leg flights can be as cheap as 50-75% off the standard charter price. This option is profitable for both the passengers and the charter companies. The clients can enjoy the services of business aviation at a very good price, while the airlines recoup part of the cost of fuel and jet maintenance.

It is almost impossible to find Empty Leg flights, as the information about them is stored in special databases available only to the aviation brokers and specialized companies. You should know that Empty Leg flights offer the same service as private jet charters. The passengers enjoy a 100% private jet flying experience. Services and flight conditions are discussed individually. We should note that our company cooperates with the world’s largest home bases, so we can offer our clients a wide choice of return flights. Just send a request to our manager who will help you find the best flight options. Please note that Empty Leg flights are sold out very quickly. To avoid such a problem, you can leave us a deposit, and we will contact you as soon as the flight of your choice becomes available. For additional information, check with the operators.

 

 

 

Jet Sharing

Today, Jet Sharing is just as popular as private jet charter. This service involves the joint rental of a business jet with other passengers (that is, the cost of the flight is divided equally between all passengers of a specific flight). This type of flight has become especially popular in the last few years. Many people like Jet Sharing because it allows you to enjoy all benefits of business aviation at favorable prices.

We should note that the number of passengers per Jet Sharing flight varies from 3 to 8, while the cost of the flight ranges from 1200 to 6000 pounds (depending on the destination). This way, you can get a comfortable flight on a business jet (and maybe even meet new business partners) at a very good price. You can check out the schedule of Jet Sharing flights by filling in the online form or contacting our operators by phone or WhatsApp.

Main advantages of this service:

• All privileges of business aviation, including the use of the business aviation terminal and the check-in 30 minutes before the flight, are retained;
• You can also use the services of the VIP Lounge (included in the price of the flight);
• No baggage restrictions;
• Affordable price: jet sharing is much cheaper than private jet charter;
• Pets can be carried directly in the aircraft cabin.

 

Our consultants will be happy to help you choose the best flight.

 

 

Helicopter charter

On most of our pages the helicopter is an option. Here it is the route. A chartered jet cannot land at Saanen and a helicopter can, which makes the rotary leg the ordinary way to finish this journey rather than an indulgence added to it. These are the legs we arrange most:

 

 

Flight payment options

The main goal of our company is to provide the highest level of comfort to our customers. Therefore, we’re always ready to meet you halfway. Our consultants will offer you a wide variety of flights to meet your needs and budget. Most customers prefer a non-cash method (a transfer to an EU bank account), which guarantees a high level of confidentiality and security of payment. All payment details are provided in advance, so you’ll have enough time to make the necessary checks. For years of working in business aviation, our company has gained an impeccable reputation. We practice transparency and are always ready to present all necessary documents.

Private Jet UK works with both physical and legal entities. We guarantee the confidentiality and security of payments. You can pay for the flights from Gstaad in any convenient way:

• cashless (by transfer to our account);
• by cash;
• by card;
• by cryptocurrency.

 

Our company works with European and British banks, which allows you to choose the most convenient payment method. In addition, we conclude formal agreements and provide our clients with all necessary documents and invoices, which guarantees the safe payment and delivery of services. If you have any financial questions, feel free to contact our private aviation consultants.

If you need to book an urgent flight, please keep in mind that the bank transfer can take a few days. In such situations, we may need to involve our partner companies so that you can pay for your flight in cash. If you have any questions, you can contact your personal consultant 24/7.

Gstaad charters we have flown: six trips from the booking notes

Written up from our brokers’ own notes. Initials replace names, and details are altered where a client would otherwise be identifiable. The prices are what those bookings cost and the flight times match the tables above.

 

Gstaad as a destination

Gstaad is a village of about three thousand people in the Bernese Oberland that has spent a century being extremely discreet about how much money passes through it. The main street is closed to cars, the chalets are built to a code that keeps them looking like farmhouses, and the rule that no building may exceed a certain height has held since before the war. Nothing here announces itself, which is precisely the point.

The skiing spreads across the Saanenland and into the Pays-d’Enhaut next door, with two hundred kilometres of piste linked by lift and bus, and the glacier at Les Diablerets above it for the early and late season. It is not Verbier and does not try to be: the terrain suits intermediates and families rather than people looking for couloirs, and a good share of the visitors ski very little and come for the village.

The summer half of the year is quietly serious. The Swiss Open tennis has been played here since 1915 on clay courts in the middle of the valley, the Menuhin Festival brings chamber music through July and August, and the walking is among the best in Switzerland. July and August fill the hotels as thoroughly as February does, which surprises people who think of this only as a ski resort.

Where to stay

• Gstaad Palace. The castle-like building on the hill that has defined the village since 1913, still owned by the same family, and the address that most first-time visitors mean when they say Gstaad;
• The Alpina Gstaad. The newest of the grand hotels and arguably the best, built in traditional timber at enormous expense and with a Six Senses spa underneath it;
• Le Grand Bellevue. In the village itself rather than above it, smaller and more relaxed than the other two, with a spa that people book the hotel for;
• Ultima Gstaad. Suites and chalets with private staff, for parties who want a hotel that behaves like a house;
• Hotel Olden. On the promenade, a fraction of the size and price of the others, and where the village itself drinks;
• A rented chalet, which is what a good share of the arrivals on this page are doing, and where the helicopter transfer earns its cost twice over.

What to do

• Ski the Saanenland. Wispile, Eggli and Rougemont above the village, Saanenmoser and Schonried for the longer runs, and the whole area covered by one pass;
• Glacier 3000 at Les Diablerets. The suspension bridge between two peaks, skiing into May, and half an hour from the village;
• Walk the promenade. Closed to traffic, lined with the jewellers and galleries that pay the village rent, and unhurried in a way that Verbier is not;
• Eat on the mountain. The huts here are proper restaurants rather than canteens, and lunch at one of them is the point of the ski day for a good many visitors;
• The Swiss Open in July, one of the oldest clay court tournaments in the world, played in a stadium in the middle of a meadow;
• The Menuhin Festival, chamber music in the churches of the valley through the summer, founded by the violinist who lived here.

When the valley is busy

• Christmas and New Year, when the chalets fill and the helicopter slots go first;
• February half term, the single busiest fortnight of the year on this route;
• The Swiss Open week in July, which fills the valley as completely as any winter week;
• The Menuhin Festival through late July and August, spread over several weeks rather than concentrated;
• May, June, October and November, when the lifts are largely shut, the village is quiet and this becomes an inexpensive sector to fly.
