The Courchevel Air Show has been running since 1997 and has been growing ever more spectacular year on year. Organised by Courchevel Flying Club it has become a recognised air show that has for the past few years coincided with the annual World Ski Jumping Championships, creating a weekend of airborne daredevil feats!

The Fête de l'Air is a tremendous festival, bringing together all aspects of the aeronautics world around a shared passion for flying. These two days introduce the public to the activities of a flying club, the aeronautics trades, piloting planes, the mountains seen from the sky, and more unique sensations. The impressive line-up often includes fighter jets, acrobatic flying teams, vintage aircraft, army helicopters and parachute commandoes.

The event attracts some 15,000 people and has become an un-missable summer high point in Courchevel. The Air Festival provides an opportunity to meet men and women pilots with experience and impressive track records, who love to share their passion for the skies. As well as the thrills of the aircraft there is also live music, firework displays and other entertainments that all make for a great day out!
