Can you identify this mountain airport in French Alps?
See this altiport regularly when returning from NCE to LHR; it's about 10mi SE of Grenoble, but I can't find it on Google/Google Maps/Google Earth.
It's like Courchevel but that's definitely not it.
I reckon the Rwy is something like 06/24
Anyone know it?

L'Alpe d'Huez, perhaps?

LFHU - L'Alpe d'Huez
The runway orientation corresponds, at least.

@CH: congrats, took you only an hour or so to repeat my suggestion. 
@T/S The field is (as could be expected) bel et bien on G Maps too: https://www.google.com/maps/@45.0879.../data=!3m1!1e3

I've been there and its... Somewhat... Short! ;-) It's a cool place to go skiing in winter, or mountain-biking in summer. I'd recommend landing on the Sarenne Glacier! Now THAT is real flying!
