How Private Jets Transform Ski Trips into Luxurious Getaways

Whether you dream of adventurous skiing, snowboarding or romantic après ski time and flaming sunsets – the ultimate destination for you is the most prestigious ski resorts. Why are they so unique and how to get there in style?

The winter season brings unforgettable skiing holidays and the luxurious essence of alpine getaways. You may have heard of glamorous ski resorts like Courchevel, known for its many Michelin-starred restaurants and A-list celebrities, or the iconic St. Moritz, which is surrounded by stunning landscapes and old-money style luxury. Courchevel, St. Moritz, and Aspen, alongside hidden gems like Lech and Bolzano, are some of most sought-after ski destinations that can be reached in ultimate luxury with private jets.

Most ski destinations have airports surrounded by mountainous terrain, requiring special crew training to operate, such as Innsbruck in Austria and Bolzano in Italy. Some airports are only for private jets, for example, Courchevel, the most world-class ski resort.

“Our team’s ability to operate in such challenging environments, combined with our commitment to luxury and precision, makes us the top choice for discerning skiers seeking a seamless, opulent travel experience,” says Edvinas Finenko, Sales Development Manager at KlasJet, a globally renowned partner in private charter operations.

VIP charter flights offer both flexible departure times and the opportunity to arrive at smaller, more exclusive airports closer to the slopes. A VIP flight guarantees personalised service and one-of-a-kind journey. Everything on board is tailored to the client’s preferences, so there is no need to worry about timing, ski equipment, pets, special diets, or gourmet dinners.

“Our aircraft features spacious cabins for comfortable pre-ski relaxation, gourmet dining with winter-inspired menus, and heated seats for ultimate comfort after a cold day on the slopes. We also provide in-flight concierge services. We work closely with luxury resorts and private transfer providers to arrange seamless transportation, whether by chauffeured SUV, helicopter, or even direct ski-in access at select locations. Our concierge team ensure that every detail is taken care of, from luggage handling to pre-arranged lift passes,” comments Finenko.

It is important to note that private jets are equipped with sufficient cargo space to accommodate skis, snowboards, and other winter sports equipment, ensuring their safe and convenient delivery. KlasJet offers pre-arranged equipment delivery services directly to clients' accommodations for a perfect arrangement.

Travellers who appreciate luxury, often opt for ski resorts in the Alps due to their exclusivity, breathtaking scenery, and exceptional hospitality. These resorts feature world-class skiing facilities and a refined atmosphere.

Courchevel ensures the very best in accommodation, from magnificent hotels to luxurious ski chalets, all set against stunning mountain backdrops. This resort has the highest concentration of Michelin-starred restaurants in one area, including the three-Michelin-starred Le 1947 à Cheval Blanc, the two-Michelin-starred Le Chabichou, and the two-Michelin-starred plant-based restaurant Le Sarkara.

Zermatt is the highest ski resort in Europe, famous for the Matterhorn, the breathtaking peak that rises majestically over the village. Surrounded by dozens of peaks this luxury ski resort has high-end spa hotels, sublime skiing, and presents a peaceful escape. Backstage Hotel Vernissage is for those who want something prestigious and modern. The hotel guarantees total tranquility and privacy, the interiors are truly special, and a spa offers heavenly treatments. The Grand Hotel Zermatterhof is counting almost 150 years history, opening its doors in 1879. The hotel has an Alpine Wellness Spa with a waterfall, VIP suites with fireplaces and jacuzzis, and arranges a horse-drawn carriage as a shuttle.

Megève is known for its French charm, with many royal families choosing this resort for their winter holidays, as well as travellers coming here to see the legendary Montblanc. One of the most well-known hotels in this resort is the Four Seasons Hotel Megève, where the modern chalet continues the legacy of the Edmond de Rothschild family, who sought to create an unrivalled hotel experience here nearly a century ago. The hotel organises private cooking classes, private igloo dinners, wine tastings, and other unique activities.

All the one-of-a-kind activities during the peak season at ski resorts can be more easily organised by private concierges. “We curate bespoke moments for families and corporate groups, team building activities at top ski resorts. Our concierge service can arrange everything from private chalets to members-only après-ski events. By partnering with elite ski resorts, five-star hotels, and luxury chalet providers we can offer exclusive perks such as VIP check-in, private ski instructors, and spa treatments. These partnerships ensure that our customers receive an exceptional level of comfort and service both in the air and on the ground,” notes Sales Development Manager at KlasJet.
