Courchevel Airport (45 ° 23’51 “N 6 ° 38’06 E) is a little ‘aviation scene infamy as the site of one of the shortest runways in the world, using a length of 525 meters (1722 feet), and slope of 18.5%, to undermine the tumble in the air. The airport is a vulnerable method in the deep valleys, that can be performed solely by specifically educated pilots. Landing is not a pull-up procedure, not like a lot of the airports of the world – there is only one rather steep hill, which has seen some accidents.

Bigger machines, like the engine Twin Otter, and the 7-series (hauling until 50 people) are normal users of the airport over the years, but has since been phased out and the smaller Cessnas and helicopters are generally viewed sitting on the tarmac now.
