Méribel Altiport

It is used for the practice of leisure and tourism activities (light aviation and helicopter).It is an altiport (an airfield located in the mountains with the runway at a significant slope, i.e. not horizontal, forcing aircraft to land uphill and take off downhill) involving dangerous terrain and thus, requires special formal training in order to conduct landings and takeoffs.The Altiport of Méribel was inaugurated on January 29, 1962 by Joseph Szydlowski, President of Turboméca, and Michel Ziegler, the son of Henri Ziegler.This altiport was the place of the first landing in a winter sports resort in France on January 30, 1962[2], the day before the first landing at the Altiport of Courchevel.The history of this altiport is strongly linked to the airline Air Alpes.
