A trip report on Bernard's PZL-104MA Wilga 2000, which is the newest of a long series of Wilga models, bringing us to the three most famous altiports in the French alps. Starting in Chambery first to Méribel, then around the corner to Courchevel and onwards to Megève and finally back to Chambery. Standard operating procedure is first to overfly the altiport and check the wind hose and for traffic. As you can see there was traffic around two of the altiports. Courchevel even had a DHC-7 service in the 80/90ies from Tyrolean Airways. The Wilga is registered in the USA and was built in 2006. A big thank you to our pilot Bernard for showing us around his home turf in a professional way.
