Can you source local Engadin produce for our flight?

Yes. Bündnerfleisch, regional dairy, alpine herbs, and Engadiner pastry products form a core part of what we offer for departures from Samedan. Availability is confirmed at the time of order, as seasonal supply varies.

How does the high elevation at Samedan affect menu planning?

At 5,600 feet on the ground and higher still once airborne, the palate perceives salt, sweetness, and aroma differently. We adjust seasoning and hydration guidance in our menus to account for this, ensuring dishes taste as intended throughout the flight.

What is your minimum lead time for catering at Samedan?

We ask for as much notice as possible, though we handle short-notice requests routinely. Kosher meals require a minimum of 24 hours' notice. For standard menus, contact us and we will confirm feasibility immediately.

Do you offer crew meals for pilots and cabin crew?

Crew meals are a standard part of every order. We prepare them separately, clearly labelled, and packaged for practical consumption in a cockpit or crew rest area.

Can Altitude Dining support positioning flights through nearby airports?

Yes. Our network covers airports across the region, including Lugano, Bolzano, and St. Gallen–Altenrhein, allowing us to coordinate catering across multi-leg itineraries under a single brief.

How do I place or amend an order?

Contact your dedicated Altitude Dining account manager directly. We operate 24/7 and reply within ten minutes. Amendments to menu or timing can be made up to the point at which preparation begins.

Private jet catering menu for Samedan

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a Samedan departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenSwitzerland

To start

Bündnerfleisch Platter

Air-dried Graubünden beef, hand-sliced thin, with pickled cornichon, unsalted butter, and dark rye crispbread. A precise expression of the Engadin valley's most celebrated charcuterie tradition.

Cold main

Engadin Endive & Walnut Oil Salad

Bitter endive leaves, toasted walnuts, and shaved Graubünden mountain cheese, dressed with cold-pressed walnut oil and a light sherry vinegar — structured to hold well in a chilled galley container.

Hot main

Capuns with Alpine Butter Broth

Traditional Swiss chard parcels filled with spätzle dough and fine-diced dried meat, finished in a clarified alpine butter broth. Portioned for in-flight service and sealed for reheating aboard.

Morning

Engadin Bircher Muesli

Overnight-soaked rolled oats with mountain milk yoghurt, grated apple, toasted hazelnuts, and a spoonful of wildflower honey. A measured, nourishing start calibrated for early morning alpine departures.

Pâtisserie

Engadiner Nusstorte

The valley's own honey-and-walnut shortcrust tart, sliced and individually wrapped. Dense, not over-sweet, and composed to survive pressurisation without textural compromise.

To finish

Graubünden Dark Chocolate & Dried Fruit Selection

Single-origin dark chocolates from regional producers, paired with dried alpine berries and candied mountain botanicals. An unhurried finish to any menu aboard a Samedan departure.

Inflight Catering · Samedan

Inflight catering in Samedan

Samedan sits in the Engadin valley, a few minutes from St. Moritz, serving the most discerning clientele in Swiss alpine aviation. The surrounding region produces exceptional cured meats, alpine dairy, and mountain herbs — ingredients we source with care and deliver in insulated, galley-ready packaging suited to high-altitude handling. The Engadin's culinary tradition is quietly remarkable: Bündnerfleisch air-dried in valley winds, Maluns — a buttered potato dish with centuries of local history — and aged Engadiner nut tart that travels beautifully in a well-organised galley. Our kitchen teams understand that Samedan private jet catering is not simply about altitude logistics; it is about reflecting a place whose character is worth tasting.

Regional Catering Menu · Samedan

Local sourcing for SMV

We build menus around the Upper Engadin's larder: thinly sliced Bündnerfleisch with cornichon and rye crispbread, cold-pressed walnut oil dressings over bitter endive, and warm Capuns — Swiss chard rolls filled with spätzle dough and dried meat — for those who want something deeply regional at altitude. Each dish is portioned and sealed for single-handler delivery, so temperature integrity is maintained from our kitchen to your aircraft's galley. For sweeter moments, Engadiner Nusstorte — the honey-and-walnut shortcrust tart native to this valley — arrives sliced and wrapped to survive the pressurised cabin without compromise. We complement it with selected Swiss pâtisserie, dark chocolates from Graubünden producers, and seasonal fruit sourced from the nearest available markets. Kosher provisions are available with 24 hours' notice.
