Talk:Courchevel

Not one of the world's shortest runways
1,722 ft does not qualify as one of the world's shortest runways &mdash; there are hundreds of airports with shorter runways than that. It is unusually short for a runway with scheduled air service, but it's well within the capabilities of a Twin Otter (not to mention many smaller aircraft). I've removed the claim from the article.

 * That is correct. Here you have a video to show it: Real-life Courchevel landing video (YouTube) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexf (talk • contribs) 21:29, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll remove the incorrect claim again... Also, I'll remove the claim that the runway is sloped to help aircraft decelerate until someone provides a reference. Lexif (talk) 17:32, 30 December 2011 (UTC)

Coordinate error
The coordinates need the following fixes: Courchevel airport is located at 45 23'56.84N  6 38'13.97E 143.158.254.226 (talk) 14:24, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Write here


 * Airport coordinates were added inline in the section about the airport. The overall article, however, is about the area, not the airport, and the current coordinates are appropriate for the area. —  T RANSPORTER M AN  ( TALK ) 17:56, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Appearance in James Bond movie
This article claims the airport was used as a location in GoldenEye, while the Courchevel article says it was used in Tomorrow Never Dies. Which is it? Neither article has a reference to verify the claim, and I haven't seen either movie. — QuicksilverT @ 21:25, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Actually, the James Bond Movie 'Tomorrow Never Dies' was not filmed at Courchevel, which is in the Alps. The introduction scene of 'Tomorrow Never Dies' was filmed at Peyresourde airfield in the Pyrenees. However, the characteristics of both altiports are similar: - Located high in the mountains - Total field length slightly more than 500 m (including a 200 m grass 'under-run' for Peyresourde) - Small flattish area at the top of the Field, followed by a fairly steep (16 - 18 deg.) slope, and ending in a very steep drop. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.18.198.2 (talk) 19:49, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Picture labelled 1850
In the article the picture of the resort is labelled as being taken in 1850 which i assume is incorrect given the technology seen in the photo. 2A01:C846:1100:2500:39AB:CDCE:A281:21E3 (talk) 21:19, 27 July 2023 (UTC)


 * No, there are several villages called Courchevel distinguished by their altitude in metres. The photo is of Courchevel 1850 not Courchevel in 1850. Nthep (talk) 21:23, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
