BTW The pedant in me feels that I should point out that it's actually spelt "Courchevel"...

I did a couple of hours with an instructor at the altiport two years ago and enjoyed it hugely but, as a field at 7,000ft, with no navaids, in the middle of the alps, during winter, I reckon that your chances of a VFR arrival there, from the uk direct, are pretty minimal. Even if you did have the necessary ratings and felt current enough to use them.

Probably best to plan on flying down to Lyon Bron or Grenoble Isere or Chambery and perhaps meeting an instructor there for the flight up to the altiport.

This is the guy I flew with and might be worth a chat?
