Val Veny Zerotta helicopter landing zone
Unprepared landing area located in the Zerotta valley near La Thuile, at approximately 1500β1600 m AMSL. The site offers wider and more accessible terrain compared to high alpine locations, with grassy fields and relatively gentle slopes.
Rifugio Deffeyes Helicopter landing site
High-altitude alpine landing area located near Rifugio Deffeyes at approximately 2500 m AMSL. The site offers limited flat terrain, with most usable spots consisting of small, uneven alpine clearings or snow-covered areas depending on the season. A challenging, non-prepared alpine LZ, requiring advanced mountain flying skills and careful performance planning
La Thuile Helicopter landing site
Unimproved alpine landing area located near Lago Verney at approximately 2100β2300 m AMSL. The terrain offers relatively flat sections, suitable for light helicopter operations, especially in winter conditions when snow cover smooths surface irregularities.A non-certified alpine LZ with good space but demanding conditions. Suitable only for skilled pilots familiar with high-altitude operations no icao
Helipad Piedimulera
Located in the municipality of Piedimulera, in the lower Anzasca Valley near Pieve Vergonte, this is an unregistered heli operating site with no ICAO designation.
Operational profile:
Surface: generally firm ground (grass/gravel), more stable than high-altitude sites
Space: moderate, suitable for light to medium helicopters
Environment: valley setting with surrounding terrain but fewer constraints than alpine peaks
Winds: possible valley channeling, but typically more manageable
Usage:
Primarily used for local operations, logistics, and occasional rescue support, acting as a practical staging point between the valley floor and higher mountain areas.
Summary:
A functional, non-certified landing area offering relatively straightforward operations compared to high-altitude sites. Suitable for pilots with basic mountain flying awareness, but still requiring attention to terrain and local wind conditions.
Eliporto Calasca
Located in the municipality of Calasca-Castiglione, just above Pieve Vergonte in the Anzasca Valley, this is an unofficial mountain landing site with no ICAO designation.
The area is typically used for alpine operations, rescue, and logistics, serving as a transition point between the valley floor and high-altitude routes toward Monte Rosa.
Pilot notes:
Surface: unprepared / variable (grass, gravel, or compacted ground)
Space: limited, with surrounding terrain constraints
Winds: can be unpredictable due to valley effects
Obstacles: terrain and vegetation nearby
Operations: short stays only, engines usually kept running
Summary:
A practical but non-standard alpine landing spot. Suitable only for experienced pilots familiar with mountain flying and confined area operations.
Cervinia Heliport
Breuil-Cervinia Helipad (Breuil-Cervinia) is a high-altitude alpine landing site (~2000 m) used mainly for rescue and heliski operations.
From a pilotβs perspective, this is a demanding VFR environment with:
strong and unpredictable mountain winds
significant density altitude effects
limited landing space and no standard airport infrastructure
There is no ICAO code, no ATC, and no IFR supportβoperations rely entirely on pilot skill and situational awareness.
Rifugio Monzino
Rifugio Monzino is a high-altitude, non-certified landing zone at ~2,590 m on an exposed ridge in the Mont Blanc massif. It is regularly used for HEMS and supply operations, not for general aviation.
Private Field
Based aircraft only.
Glacier du Dolent
1. Valley entry
enter via:
Val Ferret (Italy or Switzerland)
low altitude β gradual climb
2. Reconnaissance (essential)
first high pass (300β500 ft above)
check:
slope
wind (snow drift indications)
crevasses
3. Direction choice
Always:
land into the wind
BUT also:
land uphill (uphill landing)
n the mountains this is more important than the runway itself
4. Final approach
short and direct
no guaranteed go-around.
A very dangerous area for landings, and difficult even for experienced mountain pilots. Yet, from time to time, someone still lands there or performs a touch-and-go without leaving any documentation of the landing spot or the type of approach used
Idroscalo di Spotorno
The Spotorno Seaplane Base is a flight school for seaplanes and also offers tourist flights in the area. The Spotorno Seaplane Base is connected to the Pianfei airfield, which is located on land and not on the sea, just a few kilometers away. The official website is provided above.
Usable
This airport is still usable for light aircraft with tundra tires.
re: CUF information 2

Flight school,
ESMI is home to a few flying clubs covering most classes.
One of them is SkΓ₯nska Gyrokopterklubben ( www.gyroflyg.se ), Sweden's first and largest flying club with a flying school for modern ultralight gyroplanes (sometimes called gyrocopters or autogiros), 3-axes ultralight aircraft and weight-shift trikes. There is a charging station for electric cars, overnight stay, fuel...

First comment.
Incredibly wide runway.
Renew the comments
According to calculation, if they add up all three runways, including the one closed together, they can form a 3451 m by 45 m runway.(just bored)
First Comment.
Closed in 2010.

The airport is still unoperational. It doesn't even have a proper terminal building.
Renew the comments
It shares the runways with Zaragoza Air Base.

Longest runway in Spain, such a failure.
re: Renew the comments
Reply to @I_Am_So_Handsome:
Per comment, "... downgrades any hope of it being anything but a small, regional airport". so far seventeen home base members have not considered this a major airport.

Used to be a commercial airport until 2013, and now a military air base.

Really cool airport. Such a long runway, has quite a lot of cargo flights.
First comment.
Severely damaged during the war in Donbas in 2014. Permanently closed in the same year. A project for a new airport has been unveiled by the Russian authorities and is expected to be completed by 2028.

Currently unoperatable. In 2021, the municipality voted to terminate the activities of the Airport .
Renew the comments
A poorly rated airport, mainly due to its chaotic 14-year construction, with over 120,000 technical defects, poor design, a non-functional fire safety system, long waiting lines, and dozens of other problems.
First comment.
Located geographically in Africa, but politically in Europe.

All the airports in Spain are marked as located in Africa. Hope the devs can fix the bug.

All the airports in Greece are marked as in Asia. Hope they can change this bug.
