About Méribel Altiport
Méribel Altiport (French: Altiport de Méribel) (IATA: MFX, ICAO: LFKX), is an altiport in Les Allues, a commune in Savoie, France.
It is used for the practice of leisure and tourism activities (light aviation and helicopter).
It is an altiport (an airfield located in the mountains with the runway at a significant slope, i.e. not horizontal, forcing aircraft to land uphill and take off downhill) involving dangerous terrain and thus, requires special formal training in order to conduct landings and takeoffs.
