Courchevel Info...
 

Hoping to go and land there next week. The control tower is now closed and I have lost my information for joining etc. I've tried getting in touch with 3 Vallee's aeroclub but can't get through today. If anyone could fax me or e-mail the joining information that would be great.
p.s. in case anyone suggests I do have the Courchevel rating....

Thanks in advance.

All the info you need on the SIA website here

On that beautiful approach plate I note that Courchevel village is denoted in meters at 1850 when the surrounding terrain is marked in feet.

Seems odd to me that the publishers dont avoid the potential for confusion.

Courcheval 1850
 

I think 'Courcheval 1850' is actually the name of the town. Wikipedia says:

Thanks a lot for that link. It's much better than the original info I had.

I'd love to flt into there.
I did here that there used to be a guy running a service to there from any Uk airfield using a twin of some sort, and then he'd rent you one of his apartments too!
The name Matair rings a bell.
Anyone else know anything about that?

Aeroclub des Trois Vallees

I did the Courchevel rating two years ago at the Aeroclub - unfortunately not able to have maintained it every 6 months but great flying none the less.

Not sure if the Aeroclub is still active - if you did not know, Robert Christin was killed in a crash during February in the Mousquetaire (reported on the "other" flying forum). AFAIK he was really the Aeroclub - some of the best flying I have done there with him. R.I.P.
