Courchevel, by private jet.
Courchevel's altiport is one of the most famous runways in the world — about 537 m long, sloped at up to 18.5%, and at roughly 2,000 m elevation. It takes specialist crews and small aircraft; for nearly every jet, the trip ends at a valley airport and continues by helicopter or car.
The airports
LFLB
Chambéry
The closest jet airport, about 60 km away. Around 20 minutes by helicopter, or roughly an hour by road.
LSGG
Geneva
Long runway and full services for any aircraft size; a longer transfer by road or helicopter.
LFLJ
Courchevel Altiport
Sloped runway of about 537 m at roughly 2,008 m. Site-authorised pilots and small aircraft only.
The aircraft that fits.
Any jet can be planned into Geneva; Chambéry suits most light to large-cabin aircraft. The transfer up the mountain is part of the plan from the first brief, not an afterthought on arrival.
The aircraft, by class →When to brief early.
Saturday changeover days in the French school holidays are the busiest of the season at Chambéry and Geneva — the earlier the brief, the more options remain.
