Ski resort, IIRC. Was in one of the Bond movies (with snow). Probably others. Looks scarier than it is (at least relative to other scary airstrips in worse place - a few high in the Himalayas come to mind).
Edit - hmmm, looks like I'm thinking of another mountain top airport in the French mountains.

- jorisboris 4y agoI actually think the Bond one is the Pyrenees one, they even renamed it to 007 airport or something like that. It’s from Tomorrow Never Dies.
- dividuum 4y agoWow. You're totally correct. Thank you. I must have picked up the wrong fact a while ago.
