Weird runway (Alps?)

[EricTheRed 0]

Sometime ago someone here posted a picture of some really freaky runway in the Alps that was two levels and the whole thing was on an incline. I was talking to someone about this and wanted to show the photo but couldn't find it.

Anybody know where this was?

Thanks

Courchevel in the French Alps.... it's called Altiport (contraction of altitude and airport) de Courchevel AFAIK
of what I heard, you can't jump with a cypres there... plane goes lower than boarding point...

wasn't that in a bond flick, he rode a bike off the edge chasing a plane, then swooped to the pleane, got in and beat up the pilot? it looks familiar.

yeah, it does look familiar.

I was almost thinking of the runway in Air America (Mel Gibson) but I think that was more straight up the hill, wasn't it?

kinda the same, but that was in a jungle i think... the movie was set in vietnam or cambodia or some south-east asian type place.

More pictures and a good description. I thought landing my parachute up a hill could be taxing.... http://www.higher.flyer.co.uk/html/lflj.html
