The closest airport to Tignes

The closest airpot to Courchevel ski resort is actually in Courchevel itself. The Courchevel Altiport is based at the top of a mountain and with its very short runway is considered an extreme airport, because there is no go-round procedure for landings and there are no runway lighting aids. It is still possible to fly here on a smaller plane such as a fixed wing or a helicopter and you will see it in use during your ski trip. We can highly recommend sitting in the bar and plane spotting whilst having a break from your snowboarding and skiing, and if you require Whiterides can transfer you from Courchevel airport to any of the local resorts or ski resorts further afield.
