Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Bonjour ! Vol vers l'aéroport le plus EXTRÊME d'Europe : Courchevel
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

Flight to Europe’s most extreme airport: Courchevel in the French Alps.

Departing Buochs, Switzerland, where Pilatus makes its famous PC-12.

Captain Alexandre at the flight deck.

Bright and clear day. En route, many famous mountain peaks, including Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. The scenery is out of this world!

Courchevel has a very short runway of only 537 metres and a gradient of 18.6%.

Due to the surrounding mountainous terrain, there is no go-around procedure for landings at Courchevel. Captain Alex explains the landing procedures while circling above the airfield.

It requires precision landing to avoid the terrain in front.

The airfield primarily sees use by smaller fixed-wing aircraft such as the Cessna 208 Caravan or Pilatus PC-12, 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.

The airport is considered dangerous, as it features a difficult approach, an upward-sloping runway, and ski runs in the adjacent area.

It ranks as one of the seven most extreme airports in the world.

Happen to come across that yesterday by chance, there are a few others in a similar vein including the James bond one and some misjudging it and ending up in the snow
