San Vittore military airfield
The San Vittore military airfield ( ICAO code LSXV ) was a military airfield in San Vittore in the Swiss canton of Graubünden . It was retired from the Swiss Air Force in 1955 and has been used as a glider storage facility and since 1978 as the Heli Rezia's heliport .
The former military airfield is located in the Moesa (Misox) district on the road to the San Bernardino Pass , five kilometers northeast of the Ticino canton capital Bellinzona .
It was built in 1941 as a military airfield with runways during the Second World War and has a grass runway reinforced with grids.
When the army withdrew into the Reduit , the San Vittore airfield was outside the Reduit's defensive limits.
The airport area owned by the Swiss Armed Forces (armasuisse) is to represent the largest land reserve available in the Canton of Graubünden for economic development with additional areas in the immediate vicinity. The Canton of Graubünden would like to develop the former military airfield and the surrounding land into a competitive industrial zone.
