Courchevel Altiport (French: Altiport de Courchevel) (IATA: CVF, ICAO: LFLJ) is an altiport serving Courchevel, a ski resort in the French Alps. The airfield has a very short runway of only 537 metres (1,762 ft) with a gradient of 18.6%.[1] There is no go-around procedure for landings at Courchevel due to the surrounding mountainous terrain. The airfield primarily sees use by smaller fixed-wing aircraft such as the Cessna 208 Caravan, as well as helicopters. The runway has no instrument approach procedure or lighting aids, making landing in fog or low clouds unsafe and almost impossible.[1]

According to their website, Alpine Airlines is currently the only company worldwide to offer commercial flights to Courchevel Altiport.[5]

L'aeroporto di Courchevel (in francese Altiport International de Courchevel), è un piccolo altiporto internazionale situato sulle Alpi francesi, nel dipartimento della Savoia, presso l'omonima località sciistica di Courchevel, compresa nel comune di Saint-Bon-Tarentaise e parte del comprensorio sciistico Les Trois Vallées.[2][ru] Куршевель (аэропорт)
Куршевель (фр. Aérodrome de Courchevel) — публичный аэропорт, обслуживающий французский курорт Куршевель. У аэропорта очень короткая взлётно-посадочная полоса, длиной 525 м с углом наклона 18.5 %. Ранее аэропорт обслуживался самолётами марок De Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter и De Havilland Canada Dash 7, а сейчас больше самолётов американского производителя Cessna и вертолёты. Взлётная полоса не обладает системой ILS, что ограничивает функциональность аэропорта при тумане.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
