Samedan Airport

Samedan Airport, also known as Engadin Airport, is located in the Engadine Valley, near St. Moritz in the Swiss Alps. It is the main gateway for travellers visiting St. Moritz, a world-renowned ski resort. Due to its high elevation, the airport is well-suited for small aircraft, private jets, and charters, especially during the winter season. The airport’s longer runway allows it to accommodate various types of aircraft despite its challenging mountainous location. Samedan is famous for its scenic views, but pilots must have experience in high-altitude operations to navigate the approach and land safely.
