Courchevel Altiport

Altiport de Courchevel

A high-altitude airport at 2,007 meters with a short runway and a slope of about 18.5%, famous for its thrilling takeoffs and landings, right beside the 1850 ski run.

The runway of Courchevel Altiport is only about 537 meters long, with a gradient of about 18.5%, making it one of the most difficult airports in the world for takeoffs and landings. It was also a filming location for the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies. In winter it mainly serves private jets and helicopters flying to places such as Geneva. The beginner slope runs right beside the runway, so while skiing you can stop and watch planes take off and land. Scenic flights over Mont Blanc and Les 3 Vallées can also be booked.
