Courchevel's high season runs from 20 December through 5 January (Christmas / New Year), then 14 February through 5 March (French and UK school holidays), with March powder weeks completing the calendar.
Aircraft positioning into LFLJ is operationally restrictive — only certified pilots, daylight only, narrow aircraft type list. The typical pattern is midsize jet into Chambéry (LFLB) or Geneva (LSGG), then 15 to 20 minutes by helicopter onto the Courchevel 1850 helipad.
Slot pressure peaks 27 December → 3 January and 22 February → 1 March. Confirm aircraft, FBO and helicopter sequencing seven days in advance during those windows.
Empty leg patterns: London → Chambéry / Geneva is the densest outbound corridor (Saturday morning), with Sunday-evening return repositioning into Le Bourget, Farnborough and Linate Prime.
