Samedan sits at 5,600 feet elevation in the Engadin valley and is the highest commercial airfield in Europe. The runway itself is short by business-aviation standards, and every operator flying into LSZS carries a mountain-airfield endorsement and route-specific training. The standard approach profile is flown visually down the valley from the north-east, with a rapid terrain-constrained descent. Only certain aircraft types are cleared, with a typical cut-off at the Challenger 605 and Falcon 900 for the largest metal; the majority of traffic is Citation XLS+, Latitude, CJ4, or Phenom 300E. From Samedan, St Moritz is a fifteen-minute ground transfer. We recommend arrivals no later than 15:00 local in January and February to retain the margin for mountain-weather reroutes into Zurich if required.
