Courchevel in a Cessna 172
Courchevel is a well known french altiport, requiring a site qualification. Given how steep the runway is, and that there is no go-arroud option.
When no AFIS is present to give QNH to pilot, the procedure is to fly at the height of a teleski station, which is at 7'200 ft, and set the altimeter at this time.
The take-off is really easy given the slope, despite being even more impressive than the take-off.

IFR in IMC in a Cessna 172
Many VFR pilots are tempted to fly through a cloud, to see how it looks like. Resisting this temptation is vital, to avoid spatial disorientation and collision. If you want to see how it is, have a look at this video. It has been made while flying under IFR... see how quick the plane approaches the cloud !
