In the heart of the Engadin Valley, Samedan Airport is an international gateway to the glamorous winter resort of St. Moritz, so it is a very popular airport during the ski season. It is also the closest airport to Davos, so demand is high in January each year for the World Economic Forum.

With a runway length of 1800m, long range private jets such as Gulfstreams, Globals and Dassault Falcons are able to operate fully-fuelled, allowing passengers to reach St Moritz directly from North America, the Middle East and other international locations, as well as those travelling within Europe.
