Courchevel Altiport History
Created in 1961, Courchevel Altiport is distinctive for its short and steep runway (537 metres long) and its altitude - it is the highest runway in Europe.
Given its challenging location and short runway, the French Aviation Authority (DGAC) restricts most commercially-chartered fixed wing private flights, in or out of Courchevel. Private owners can land there in their own aircraft (ie not commercially-chartered by a third party) - as different safety regulations around landing then apply.
Most clients looking to reach Courchevel by private charter will arrive by private jet to Chambery or Grenoble, then transfer to Courchevel via helicopter.
