[@hertzair1186]

Well done and fascinating history of this very unique mountain airport

[@MattsAviationChannel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

@@150daysofwinter You are welcome. I left a small tip for your efforts.

[@fartingfury]

Great work, thanks for making this. It deserves many more views and likes!

[@friendoftheelves]

Great video, it never gets boring watching from the slopes while things take off and land!

[@bryanewyatt]

Thank you for making this. Neat info!

[@JVIce-44]

Excellent information information about this fascinating place in the French Alps. Makes it even more interesting to me because my daughter, from Australia, worked at Meribel one inter season a few years ago and really enjoyed her time there.

[@150daysofwinter]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's a beautiful place both in the winter and the summer.

nice one, great research & edit

[@matterhornchalets]

An interesting record of a unique facility.

[@glynmycock5035]

Very interesting video, thanks for putting it together!

fab .1992 i saw dash 7 land and take off was great to see

[@150daysofwinter]

Very jealous, Compared to the small planes that land now the Dash7 is in a different league. I would have loved to hear one going to full throttle for takeoff.

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Very interesting, thank you for posting. I used to go to work in a Dash 7 from Aberdeen to Unst in the Shetland Isles. This wasn't a long runway either at 2099' - 640m however considerably longer than Courchevl, and there was a go round at both ends too. :-)

[@150daysofwinter]

Seeing something as large as a dash 7 land still give me goosebumps.

Very interesting Alex

[@jcolt188]

Thanks for this well researched vid…ciao!

[@yannhenriot2568]

Super intéressant et j’imagine un énnnnorme travail d’archive. Merci Alex. Ah oui et puis la musique creepy en transition des chapitres, trop drôle 😁

[@marianshattock2732]

Thank you for the video. I have stood on the piste that runs past the altiport many times, hoping t see a take off or landing.❤

Very good video. Be interested in a follow-up on options for heli transfer to 3V from GVA etc - how is luggage handled, what happens in bad weather etc etc.

[@150daysofwinter]

If they are travelling with loads of luggage usually a normal taxi will take it from GVA and deliver to resort.

[@jameshensley1095]

Thanks, I have wondered about why and how the air port developed. It has to be a rush to land and take-off, especially in era of flight when passengers could see out thru the cockpit.

[@150daysofwinter]

You only get one shot at taking off and landing. Only STOL planes like the Pilatus PC12 and small Piper planes.

[@hitch6161]

How much is a helicopter transfer from nearest international airport.

[@skiingfast1]

Great Question.

[@150daysofwinter]

From Courchevel to Geneva, depending on the size of helicopter costs from 2200e to 7200e

[@glynmycock5035]

@@150daysofwinter I understood that private helicopters were not allowed at Geneva now because of the increased fixed wing traffic.

[@150daysofwinter]

Possibly. I was just reading the information off a helicopter transfer website.

[@openbabel]

Reminds me of Mel Gibsons slope landings in Air Air america turbo porter

[@150daysofwinter]

Before they tarmaced the runway it was even hairier than it is now

[@skiingfast1]

So I won't be able to land my G-6000 there?

[@150daysofwinter]

Only on Microsoft Flight Simulator...
