Biel Kappelen Airport (LSZP)

Still one of the most beautiful grass airfields in Switzerland. The runway and taxiways are in excellent condition and, even after rain, remain firm and fully usable. Very friendly and helpful people on the field. The Indian restaurant right on the airfield is highly recommended; be sure to try the food!
Lugano Airport (LSZA)

Great aerodrome with very friendly staff. On arrival, ATC usually asks for the planned ground time. Compared to Locarno, the field is rather expensive. There is a bar on the field where you can also get light snacks. The train station is about a 10-minute walk away. Landing fee for 890 kg MTOW: 77 CHF
Thun Airport (LSZW)

The aerodrome is great; there’s a model airfield right next door. The town is within walking distance. There are some potholes on the taxiway—use caution! The landing fee for 600 kg MTOW is 18 CHF.
Locarno Airport (LSZL)

It's one of the coolest aerodromes in Switzerland and offers a nice view of Lago Maggiore. There's a pizzeria and the landing fees are inexpensive. On a fine weekend day it can get quite busy! Please observe the PPR hours!
- Avgas available; Mogas expected to be available soon
- Landing fee CHF 13.- for 600 kg MTOW and above
