In 2002, Skyguide used nine radar stations for civil air traffic control:

three long-range secondary radar stations, also known as «en route» radar stations, located in Boppelsen on the Lägern hills , on La Dôle near the French border and above the Lukmanier Pass on the Scopí ;

two dedicated combined primary and secondary radar stations, also known as “approach” radar stations, at Geneva Airport (in Cointrin) and Zurich Airport (on the Kloten Holberg) for approach and departure control;

four foreign radar stations to complete the national radar coverage in Switzerland and to transfer air traffic to neighboring air traffic control centers with locations in Cirfontaine and Nevers (both in France), Gosheim (Germany) and Monte Lesima (Italy).

According to Skyguide's website, eight of the installations belong to the company.
