La Môle (LFTZ) takes jets up to eight passengers on a short 1,150-metre runway facing the sea, eighteen kilometres from the harbour. Larger aircraft land at Nice, a hundred kilometres away, then reach the gulf by helicopter (twelve minutes) or car. The yacht season, June to September, saturates La Môle; the Voiles de Saint-Tropez in October extend the peak.
La Môle is prized for its immediate closeness to the gulf, but its short runway limits aircraft size: beyond eight passengers, arriving at Nice then taking the helicopter is the way. In summer, the rhythm follows the yachts and the villas of Ramatuelle; very early booking is the rule. Off-season, the gulf regains a calm few Riviera airports know.
On the ground, handling at La Môle is provided by leading FBOs — Hello Monaco and SAGS — for reception, formalities and boarding a few steps from the aircraft.

Which aircraft suits a flight to Saint-Tropez?
For Saint-Tropez, 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 La Môle favours light jets and turboprops in any case. Our advisors size the aircraft to your passenger count and exact route.
