- Alpine airport refers to an airport located in or near the Alpine region, which typically includes high mountain areas with snowy or cold weather conditions. Some examples of alpine airports include Innsbruck Airport in Austria, Courchevel Altiport in France, and Aspen-Pitkin County Airport in the United States. These airports serve as gateways to popular ski resorts and mountainous regions, catering to both commercial and private flights. The facilities at alpine airports are often designed to accommodate smaller aircraft due to the challenging weather conditions and limited runway space.
