Dining

The airfield itself has minimal on-site catering, so pilots and visitors are advised to head into nearby Guillestre, which offers local brasseries, bakeries, and traditional Hautes-Alpes cuisine. The surrounding villages provide seasonal restaurants serving regional specialties such as ravioles and Alpine charcuterie, particularly lively during ski and summer hiking seasons.

Traveller Tips
  • Mountain weather changes rapidly — always check local METEO-France alpine forecasts before departure or arrival.
  • Guillestre, just a few kilometres away, is your best base for fuel, food, and accommodation.
  • The airfield is popular with glider pilots due to strong thermal activity over the surrounding Alpine ridges.
  • Verify airfield operating hours and any NOTAM restrictions in advance, as staffing is limited and seasonal.
