And that's the wussy airport! Meribel, nearby, is even hairier. I
haven't been to either "field", but I know someone who regularly flies
out of Meribel in a Jodel on skis. If I remember correctly, there is an
alarm in the clubhouse and if anyone lands and doesn't make it to the
top of the hill they all run out and grab the airplane before it slides
off the side of the cliff!

The runway length is in meters, so 1300ish feet isn't too bad, but the
elevation ups the ante on that...

You have to have special authorisation to fly there which means training
by the local club. I believe the same applies for Courcheval.

I couldn't find any youtube stuff on it.
