Fly to Switzerland – Take a ride on Gelmerbahn
It’s not for the faint hearted – but it is a beautiful ride. The Gelmerbahn funicular is one of the steepest funiculars in Europe. The track is around 1 000 meters long – and the rise is 448 meters. A bit like riding a rollercoaster in the Alps. Built to transport employees and construction materials to the Gelmer dam, the Gelmerbahn has been open to the public since 2001. Go for a hike around Gelmer lake when you reach the top. And prepare for the steep ride down...
Hiking the Swiss alps
The Swiss alps are not only for skiing. During the summer they offer beautiful hiking trails.
Hike the 80 kilometers of marked trails in the Swiss National Park and experience the beautiful nature; peaks, glaciers, waterfalls and lakes. The Swiss National Park was founded in 1914 and is the oldest in the Alps.
With its 65 000 kilometers of hiking trails, you’re bound to find a trail you like in Switzerland.
Tips for a smooth trip to Switzerland
Plan ahead and be on time
For a smooth and stress-free trip to Switzerland, make sure you check your departure time and the terminal you’ll be using before you travel. With SAS, you can complete your digital check-in on our website or in the SAS App up to 30 hours before departure, helping you save time at the airport. Arriving early — especially during peak travel periods — gives you a more relaxed start to your journey and ensures you’re fully prepared for your flight to Switzerland.
Pack smart
When planning your trip to Switzerland, take a moment to review what you’ll need throughout your journey. Confirm that your ticket includes the baggage allowance that suits your travel plans and check the current weight and size limits. Adding extra baggage through the SAS App or website before you fly is often quicker and more cost-effective than arranging it at the airport.

Crew tips: world class skiing in Courchevel
OCTOBER 2023
The French ski resort of Courchevel is easily accessible from Geneva. Angelica Hedlund is a flight attendant at SAS and is here to tell you everything you need to know before visiting the alpine slopes around Les 3 Vallées.
Buy ski passes for all three valleys
“Before we left, I had some questions about Les 3 Vallées, as the three valleys of Courchevel, Méribel and Val Thorens are known. When we arrived, I quickly learned that they are all connected—the lift systems are built to easily move between them.
Here’s my first tip: buy a lift pass for all three! It gives you much more freedom when skiing and you never have to worry about getting stuck somewhere your lift pass isn’t valid.”
Rent a car
“We booked a transfer to take us up to Courchevel. It took about three hours as there was a lot of traffic. But I actually recommend renting a car instead—it’s about the same price, even a little cheaper if you’re only going to be there for the weekend. I also recommend renting a car so you can travel around inexpensively once you’re there.
Courchevel is built over four different levels; 1550, 1650, 1750, and 1850, and taxis are expensive. We stayed in 1650, which meant that 1850 was not within walking distance, especially since it is all uphill.
Why did we want to go there all the time? Well, that’s where the lifts to the top start, and where the après-ski, restaurants and shopping can be found. It’s simply where the action is.”
Courchevel’s best après-ski
“If you like rowdy après-ski parties with huge decking areas full of people singing along to Sweet Caroline, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed at Courchevel. Things are more sophisticated here with a glass of rosé and house music over the speakers. Remember to book a table in advance because otherwise it can be difficult to get a seat.”
Angelica Hedlund’s five après-ski favorites:
La Mangeoire Ski Club
“A lovely place in the middle of the slopes. Unbeatable when sunny and the food is top notch. They recommend that you order a little of everything and then share it around.”
Le Cap Horn
“For an aviation enthusiast like me, this was my absolute favorite place for the simple reason that it’s right next door to Courchevel Airport. The super-small runway might be one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. Anyway, Le Cap Horn is a great après-ski venue. The sun is almost always shining there and the parties are really good.”
Le Folie Douce
“Here’s where you actually go for a little après-ski, Sweet Caroline-style. It’s messy with a really great vibe.”
Bagatelle
“Bagatelle is situated at the top, so make sure to go when there is good weather as it can get a bit cold otherwise.”
Le Tremplin
“Last but not least: Le Tremplin may not look like much compared to the other places but there’s a vibe here. They have live music and serve good food. And you don’t have to ski away from here afterwards as it’s in the middle of 1850.”
Best slope
“In addition to buying lift tickets for all three areas, I want to highlight one place in particular. The lift is called Granges and here you can access three different slopes to get back down to the lift. I tested all the slopes across the entire system and Granges stood out. Every time I passed by, the sun was shining and the sky was clear blue, even when it was overcast—in other words, it’s a real gem.”

Courchevel by night
“If you want to party in the evening, you certainly can in Courchevel!
There are plenty of dining options in all price ranges, from Michelin-starred restaurants to dance and cabaret venues. I can recommend L’Aventure, an incredible place where you should order champagne after dinner. Then there’s a show where they come in with ice torches and flags from your home country.”
Talk to the flight crew
“As a crew member, I’m always in an extra good mood when I fly as a passenger, so I stood in the galley for a long time talking to my colleagues. When you’re flying, never be afraid to talk to us! We love sharing our passengers’ adventures and experiences around the world.”
