You can actually see the ski tracks in the snow. What a site it must be to come into this port for the skiers and the pilots! - Jill b.,Va. |

,I am not a photograper, but the composition being in three points of interest, distance in such detail, the middle so compact, near shot so close can see foot prints, hight from runway , the people are in so clear to see the color of their clothes, the detail of a prop engine plane, parking area to the very right of picture.
the form of the green evergreen trees, even the detail of every limbs and branches. congratulations to the photgapher.

Excellent view of three levels of altitude associated with an airport landing zone. |

I flew as a passenger from Courchevel Altiport in Jan 2007. A short 15 minute trip in a Cessna 172. I am a pilot and just wanted to experience a launch and landing from a this unusual strip. It is not so bad - very slow acceleration given the high density altitude c. 6,600 feet, but rapid acceleration and lift off once over the lip. The landing is equally impressive - landing well below the 'uphill' end, but deceleration is rapid and the pilot has to apply a good deal of power just to get back up the slope to the apron. I'd be happy to give it a go myself - in perfect conditions! |

You'd better not overrun this runway! Looks pretty scary! Awesome picture! |

We have 3 options. 1) We land. 2) End up in a snow drift, or 3) we fall off the edge of the cliff!!
Great shot!!! |

There is certainly no room for rejected take off or runway overrun! |

An amazing picture of an amazing airport, great perspective of the runway here.
I was skiing in the three valleys this year and skiied straight past the altiport. Had lunch at the restaurant on the left and watched an aircraft land, quite a dodgy landing! |

What kind of airport is this? It can't be an airport if the rwy. is too steep and short! |
