Located at an altitude of 2,006 meters, the altiport has an asphalt runway 40 meters wide and only 537 meters long with a gradient of 18.66%. Because of its dangerousness, only pilots with the "mountain wheel" qualification can take off and land there. The runway is permanently cleared of snow, allowing planes to fly without skis, but snow piles can limit the runway edges. The altiport also has a heliport in the dedicated area below. Courchevel International Altiport is famous for being one of the most dangerous airports in the world.

Main characteristics: To faithfully reproduce the relief around the altiport, the mesh has been redrawn with an accuracy of 5 meters. High resolution ground textures entirely retouched by hand. The tunnel passing under the runway is actually modeled. Extremely detailed 3D modeling using high resolution textures. A realistic snow cover appears automatically from November to April. The clock on the hangar is functional and synchronized with the simulator. Windsocks and flags are customized and animated. Several ski lifts are represented. The Saulire cable car (the summit of Courchevel) and the Vizelle gondola are animated.

To work properly, the simulator's default scene must be uninstalled. This is done very easily via the "PROFILE" - "CONTENT MANAGER" menu.
