Grenoble to Courchevel by helicopter: what the price covers, and what changes it

By Accrocar7 min read

Accrocar’s indicative price for a private helicopter from Grenoble Alpes-Isère Airport to the Courchevel altiport is from €3,720 per helicopter, one way, for the winter 2026–2027 season. That buys the whole aircraft, not a seat. The helicopter that operators publish for this route is an Airbus H125, which typically carries up to five passengers, as operators publish, and the flight takes about 30 minutes. The figure is a planning price: the operator confirms the aircraft, the time and the final amount for your date, and nothing is booked until you approve a written proposal.

What does “from €3,720 per helicopter” actually mean?

  • Per helicopter: one private aircraft for your party alone. Accrocar does not sell seats on shared flights, so the price does not change with the number of passengers the helicopter can legally carry.
  • From: the starting price for the route and the aircraft published for it. A different date, time or aircraft can change it.
  • Indicative: a figure for planning and comparison, not a booking. The binding price is the one in the operator’s written proposal.
  • One way: Grenoble to Courchevel. Returning by helicopter is a second flight, quoted separately.
  • Winter 2026–2027: the price applies to this ski season. It is reviewed when operators publish their next season.

What does it represent per passenger in a full cabin?

The aircraft is priced as a whole: Accrocar books the entire helicopter privately for your party and does not sell individual seats. The price is the same whether one or five people fly. The per-passenger figure below is only a mathematical illustration for a fully occupied private helicopter.

PassengersPrice of the private helicopterWhat it means in practice
1€3,720The whole aircraft for one traveller
2€3,720A couple
3€3,720A small family or three friends
4€3,720A common configuration for a ski week
5€3,720 (€744 per passenger: mathematical illustration for a full private helicopter, not a seat price)A full H125; the operator confirms what luggage can travel
Grenoble to Courchevel, H125, from €3,720 per helicopter (indicative, winter 2026–2027). The price is for the whole private helicopter; seats are not sold individually. The per-passenger figure is a mathematical illustration for a full cabin only.

The last line matters: with a full cabin, the operator confirms what luggage can travel with you. Planning how bags travel matters most for a five-passenger transfer; see our guide to skis and luggage on a helicopter.

How does Grenoble compare with the other airports?

The same indicative grid covers every airport around the 3 Vallées. Prices do not follow flight time exactly: Annecy, about 20 minutes away, starts at €2,400, while Chambéry, about 25 minutes, starts at €3,240. Compare the airports you could realistically fly into, not just the distance.

Grenoble and Geneva start at the same price, but they are not interchangeable. From Grenoble, the H125 is the only aircraft priced; from Geneva, seven are, up to large twin-engine helicopters, which matters for a bigger party; the operator confirms what luggage can travel. The choice is explained in our guide to helicopters between Geneva and Courchevel.

Is it the same price to Méribel and Val Thorens?

Yes. From Grenoble, Accrocar’s indicative price is from €3,720 per helicopter to Courchevel, Méribel or Val Thorens, each about 30 minutes. Operators also publish Grenoble to Val d’Isère and Tignes (about 35 minutes) and to Megève (about 40 minutes); for those three, the price is on request. Where each resort’s helicopters land is set out in our article on Méribel and Val Thorens by helicopter.

What is only settled in the quote?

  • Availability of an aircraft and a pilot at your time: the Saturdays of the school holidays are the busiest days of the winter.
  • Taxes and any applicable fees, which the operator states in the proposal. The indicative price is not presented as tax-inclusive.
  • The aircraft itself, and how much luggage it can take with your passengers on board.
  • The time of the flight: the Courchevel altiport opens from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time in winter, except by arrangement with its manager, and allows no night flights, so the helicopter must land in daylight.
  • The last kilometres from the altiport to your chalet or hotel, by car.
  • Any return flight, waiting time or change of date.

One operator’s published terms state that its flights are made under visual flight rules and in daylight only, that passengers’ names, ages and declared weights are required, and that a client cancellation is charged 50% from five to two days before the flight and in full within the last two days. Your proposal states the terms that apply to your flight.

What happens if the weather closes the valleys?

Mountain helicopters fly by sight. Low cloud, snowfall or strong wind can delay a flight or cancel it, sometimes on the day. Operators may offer a road transfer instead; the proposal sets out the weather terms. The trade-offs between flying and driving from Grenoble are compared in our guide to helicopter, private driver and road.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know

Is the €3,720 per person or per helicopter?

Per helicopter. The aircraft is private to your party and seats are not sold individually. As a mathematical illustration for a full cabin, €3,720 divided among five passengers is €744 each; this is not a seat price.

Does the price include the return?

No. The indicative price is for one flight, Grenoble to Courchevel. A return by helicopter is a second flight and is quoted separately.

Can I fly if I land at Grenoble in the evening?

Usually not the same day: the Courchevel altiport is open in daylight only, and night flights are not allowed.
