CLOSEST JET AIRPORT
Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc (CMF)

Runway about 2,020 m (OurAirports). Busy on winter Saturdays.
To Courchevel and Méribel: about 90 min by car · Helicopter transfer, Chauffeured SUV
Courchevel has its own altiport, but it is not a jet airport: it is a short, sloped mountain strip for qualified crews in daylight. The jet airports for Courchevel are Chambéry (CMF), with a runway of about 2,020 m, and Geneva (GVA), which takes every aircraft size.
The choice between them comes down to the transfer. From Chambéry a helicopter to the altiport takes about 20 minutes; from Geneva about 45. By road both are long mountain drives in winter traffic.
