Well, if you don't want to go too far, try Chambery, France (LFLB) where (from memory) the 18 ILS is fairly steep and the prevailing wind northerly. Procedure starts from the CBY at about 6500 ft, takes you down over a lake with up to 4500 ft hills either side and a natty little teardrop go-around for the MAP to avoid another 6500 ft hill south of the airfield and city.
This approach is more fun if you do the 18 NDB at night and with some weather!

My favourite, most gob-smacking all time approach must be the 'Shuttle profile' flown in a T-38 at Edwards AFB a few years back. 24000 ft to the flare in less time that it took to post this!
