๐ข Terminal Information
LโAlpe dโHuez Altiport (AHZ, LFHU) is a mountain airfield serving the ski resort above BourgโdโOisans 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 chaletโstyle terminal/FBO sits beside the apron and provides pilot/passenger services.\n\nThe layout is compact. Parking is next to the terminal, with a 1โ2 minute walk to the lobby. From the terminal to parked aircraft on the apron is a short, escorted walkโusually under a minute depending on stand position. There are no buses or jet bridges; all access is groundโlevel.\n\nThere is no commercial TSAโstyle screening and no onโsite immigration/customs. International arrivals must route via a designated airport of entry elsewhere in France or the EU and reposition. Mountain operations are weatherโsensitive; winter conditions, wind, and visibility can delay or curtail flights.\n\nAmenities include a pilot lounge/briefing space, restrooms, and WiโFi when staffed; food and retail are in the resort village nearby. Helicopter services and winter support (deโicing as available) can be arranged through the operator. Ground transport includes resort shuttles, preโbooked taxis, and rental cars obtained in the valley or resort per arrangement.\n\nAccessibility is stepโfree between parking and the terminal; staff can assist as needed. Family facilities are limited at the altiportโtravelers should bring baby supplies and snacks, and plan for alpine weather when moving between buildings and aircraft.
