Courchevel
Courchevel is a French mountain airfield with an very steep runway. It’s often cited in lists like the most dangerous airports, even if it’s perfectly safe as long as the special local regulations are respected.

Samedan
Samedan is located in eastern Switzerland, and is one of the highest airports in Europe, at 5’600 feet above mean see level. As it’s in a narrow valley, there is no base leg, but a simple 180 turn from downwind to final.
