Flying to Megève
Megève altiport (LFHM) tops out at 1,472 metres with a 510-metre runway, reserved for certified aircraft and mountain pilots, by day only. Most travellers arrive at Geneva, an hour's drive or a few minutes by helicopter. A discreet, family resort favoured by insiders, Megève sees its demand concentrate on the Christmas and February holidays.
Megève cultivates a discretion that suits a clientele of regulars: people come as families, often via Geneva then helicopter or car in an hour. The altiport, reserved for mountain pilots, takes only small aircraft by day. Demand tightens around the holidays and February, when the village regains its historic-resort feel, away from the bustle of the big domains.
On the ground, handling at Altiport is provided by leading FBOs — Aérocime — for reception, formalities and boarding a few steps from the aircraft.

How do you reach the ski resorts from Megève?
Megève is a prime access point to the Alps. Altiports such as Courchevel or Megève require specifically qualified aircraft and crews; many travellers land at Altiport then reach the resort by helicopter or car. The ski season, December to March, saturates weekend slots: early booking is essential. Our advisors match the aircraft and transfer to the resort and the date.
Which aircraft suits a flight to Megève?
For Megève, a short European leg flies comfortably on a light jet — a Phenom 300 or a Citation — economical and quick to arrange. For a group, more baggage or a little more distance, a midsize such as the Praetor 600 or Challenger 350 adds cabin and range. The short runway at Altiport favours light jets and turboprops in any case. Our advisors size the aircraft to your passenger count and exact route.
