🏢 Terminal Information
L’Alpe d’Huez Altiport (AHZ, LFHU) is a mountain airfield serving the ski resort above Bourg‑d’Oisans in the French Alps. It features a short, sloped runway and operates primarily for general aviation, helicopter transfers, and seasonal charter activity rather than scheduled airline service. A small chalet‑style terminal/FBO sits beside the apron and provides pilot/passenger services.\n\nThe layout is compact. Parking is next to the terminal, with a 1–2 minute walk to the lobby. From the terminal to parked aircraft on the apron is a short, escorted walk—usually under a minute depending on stand position. There are no buses or jet bridges; all access is ground‑level.\n\nThere is no commercial TSA‑style screening and no on‑site immigration/customs. International arrivals must route via a designated airport of entry elsewhere in France or the EU and reposition. Mountain operations are weather‑sensitive; winter conditions, wind, and visibility can delay or curtail flights.\n\nAmenities include a pilot lounge/briefing space, restrooms, and Wi‑Fi when staffed; food and retail are in the resort village nearby. Helicopter services and winter support (de‑icing as available) can be arranged through the operator. Ground transport includes resort shuttles, pre‑booked taxis, and rental cars obtained in the valley or resort per arrangement.\n\nAccessibility is step‑free between parking and the terminal; staff can assist as needed. Family facilities are limited at the altiport—travelers should bring baby supplies and snacks, and plan for alpine weather when moving between buildings and aircraft.
