Beyond the Snow: Why Summer in St. Moritz is the Ultimate Private Jet Escape

When you hear "St. Moritz," your mind likely jumps straight to the winter glitz—the champagne flutes on frozen lakes, the fur coats, and the world’s elite carving up Corviglia.

But if you think this legendary alpine resort town goes to sleep when the snow melts, think again.

Summer in the Engadine Valley is one of Europe's best-kept secrets. The glitz doesn't vanish; it simply swaps the ski boots for hiking trails, sailing masts, and the crisp, refreshing breeze of the Swiss Alps. With 20 pristine lakes, 580 kilometers of marked mountain trails, and a packed schedule of elite events like the Summer Polo Cup and the legendary Jazz Festival at the Dracula Club, it is the ultimate destination for a luxury "coolcation."

The only problem? Arriving there by ground can feel less like a luxury vacation and more like an endurance test.

At BJETS, we believe the journey should match the destination. Here is why you need to experience the Engadine this summer—and how to arrive completely differently.

The Summer Spirit of the Engadine - St. Moritz Private Jet

While the rest of Europe swelters in the summer heat, the Engadine Valley sits in a perfect pocket of fresh mountain air and brilliant sunshine. It is a playground for both adrenaline and relaxation.

• On the Water: The afternoon Maloja wind transforms Lake Silvaplana into a world-class playground for windsurfing and kitesurfing. For a more relaxed pace, you can stand-up paddleboard across mirror-smooth waters as the morning sun hits the peaks.

  
  

• On the Trails: Take a funicular to the summit of Muottas Muragl or Piz Nair for jaw-dropping views of emerald valleys, cascading glaciers, and alpine wildflower fields.

  
  

• The Lifestyle: Unwind with a salt-water grotto spa day at the iconic Kulm Hotel, shop the luxury boutiques of Via Serlas, or enjoy fresh artisanal sorbet at The Gelateria Palace.

  
  

The Ground Dilemma (and the BJETS Solution)

St. Moritz is famously tucked away deep in the Upper Engadin. If you fly commercially into Zurich or Milan, expect a minimum three-to-four-hour journey involving winding mountain passes, traffic, or multiple train transfers.

Why waste a full day of your summer escape staring at the bumper of the car in front of you?

When you fly with BJETS, the gridlock disappears. We bypass the commercial chaos entirely, flying you directly into Samedan Airport (SMV). Located just 10 minutes from the heart of St. Moritz, Samedan is Europe’s highest airliner airport.

Instead of a grueling four-hour haul, you step off your private aircraft, breathe in the crisp alpine air, and melt into the back of your chauffeured vehicle. Within minutes, you are checking into your suite at the Badrutt's Palace or the Grace La Margna.
