I'm not familiar with that airport, but my Stemme has 115 turbocharged
horsepower and a reliable Rotax 4-stroke engine.Â* It climbs at 800 fpm
at high density altitudes and, with a full gas tank of 30 US gallons,
can cruise for 8 hours at over 100 kts at 18,000' (more if you want to
be cold).

Or are we just talking about single seaters with delightfully light
controls? :-D

Magnus, with a LAK17C you won't be able to take off safely from Montricher, especially not to the northeast. I wouldn't go for less than 50 hp, and that leaves you with Ventus 2CM, DG800, Antares 20E or ASH26E with the Schleicher prop.
