I recall the rather splendid Tyrolean Airways 50 seat Dash 7 charter operations in to this tiny airport.
Tyrolean Airways had lead the way with Dash 7 Ski flight Ops to Chambery airport, plus they also flew to the tiny mountain top airport of Courchevel where the airfield has a very short runway of only 537 metres with a gradient of 18.6%.




Rare footage of Tyroleans' Dash 7 landing at Courchevel.
This was so demanding that it does not have a go-around procedure.
Courchevel is a ski resort in the French Alps.
The Altiport (LFLJ) is famous for its sloping runway up to 18.5º. The runway is 1755 ft (535 m) long and elevation of 6580 ft.
