Sweet! I have a friend who used to work in the chalets in Courcheval, cleaning and cooking for skibunnies. She raved about the place (in a good way).

Did she ever talk about flying in?

I found a round-trip video.

Holy crap. That runway is far from flat.

Wow. As an aside, I looove airliners.net... plane porn for the truly geeky among us.

That video didn't work for me stilicho, it kept stalling. But it prompted me to search and find these. Landing and takeoff.

Awesome links, you guys. I thought I was the only runway junkie!

No, but she said the first (she thinks) Brosnan Bond movie's opening scenes were set on that airstrip. Friends of hers flew it and said approaching the strip looked like you were about to fly into a concrete wall.

On final approach.
