Yeh stefan, you've trolled me good there.

Flown into Meribel or Courcheval, have you?

Yes. Courchevel, Meribel, Alpe d'Huez. Actually, it isn't that hard if
you're used to fly in mountains, to spot landings and have some
knowledge of local wind systems. And being mainly a glider pilot, the
lack of a go around option isn't a real issue, either.

Tell us all about it.

No. But if you're really interested, nothing prevents you to gain an
"autorisation de site", i.e. the sign-off for one of those alitports. If
you're reasonably current, three hours would should be plenty enough.
One of the clubs below will be happy to help you:
