Private Jet Megève to Valparaíso

The route from Megeve to Valparaiso is a remarkable journey of some 6,361 nautical miles, an ultra-long-range crossing that reaches from the French Alps to the Chilean Pacific. Aircraft such as the Gulfstream G650ER or the Bombardier Global 7500 are suited to the distance, each capable of flying the long ocean sector nonstop and cruising at altitudes approaching 51,000 feet, where the cabin remains quiet and settled through the many hours aloft. Departures are handled from Megeve Altiport, a high-altitude alpine field whose short runway and mountain setting call for specially certified crews and equipment, lending an unmistakable sense of occasion to any departure. For the intercontinental leg that follows, operators plan the mission carefully so that the demanding alpine field and the ocean crossing dovetail without compromise. The arrival into Valparaiso Airport brings travellers to one of South America’s most characterful cities, a historic Pacific port whose colourful hills, Victorian funiculars and UNESCO-listed quarter have long drawn artists and travellers alike. This is a route for the most discerning, linking a fashionable French ski resort with the Chilean coast in a single private passage that scheduled aviation cannot match. Skiers chasing winter across the hemispheres, wine enthusiasts and those with interests in South America all find the pairing rewarding. A crossing of this magnitude makes the strongest case for a fully appointed cabin with a proper berth and attentive service, so that guests manage the long flight and the substantial time change in comfort. For the traveller who wishes to move from the peaks of the Alps to the shores of the Pacific without interruption, it is a connection of exceptional reach and refinement.
