Flying private from CVF.
Courchevel Altiport (LFLJ) is an airport used for private flights serving Courchevel.
The altiport sits at the top of Courchevel 1850, a few minutes from the hotels and slopes, but only small turboprops such as the Pilatus PC-12 and helicopters can use its short, steep runway.
Jets land at Chambéry or Geneva and passengers finish the trip by helicopter or car, and fixed-wing flights depend on clear weather because there is no instrument approach.
Other options in Courchevel include Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc (CMF). Flights are operated by DGAC-licensed operators.
