Courchevel Airport

Check out this runway! 😮

“Courchevel (CVF, LFLJ) is an “altiport” in the French alps. It is located in the “trois vallees” about 100km SSW of Geneva and about 50km SSE of Montblanc at an elevation of 6369 to 6580ft (1941 to 2006m) just above the skiing resort of Courchevel 1850 (part of the “trois vallees” skiing area). Its single runway 05/23 is 525m (1720ft) in length with a slope of 12 to 18%, making it (as to my knowledge) the highest hard-surfaced airfield in Europe.”
