🇨🇭 Altiport du Glacier de Tsanfleuron Airport

The Altiport du Glacier de Tsanfleuron (CH-0004) is an altiport (also referred to as an "altisurface") located on the Tsanfleuron Glacier in Savièse, Valais, Switzerland. Situated at an elevation of 2725 meters (8940 feet), it is a high-elevation airfield primarily used for private aviation accessing the Glacier 3000 ski resort and for heliskiing and mountain transport operations. While specific runway details are limited, altiports of this type often consist of unpaved terrain, such as glaciers or snow-packed surfaces, suitable for ski-equipped aircraft or helicopters. The Tsanfleuron Glacier itself holds historical significance, as receding ice has revealed ancient artifacts and even human remains, including those of a couple missing since 1942.
